Which of the following is the most likely underlying problem?] poor patient effort during the test procedure a restrictive disorder of the lungs or chest wall combined restrictive and obstructive disease peripheral (small) airway obstruction None . [During the angiogram Patient continues to be quite anxious and is moving around quite a bit; the cardiologist continues to have the RN provide the anxiolytic in incremental doses. Following the procedure, Patient is not waking up very well and the RN is concerned because Patient cannot be taken back to the ward in her current state. Which medication may be of assistance in this situation?] Anexate Doxapram Naltrexone Narcan None .

[You are assisting a pre-operative assessment on a patient going for a knee replacement. The patient has a history of moderate COPD. What following considerations would benefit the patient if implemented?] Ensure respiratory medications up to and including the day of surgery Increase MAC of anesthetic to speed induction Regional anesthesia should be presented as an option for the surgery Choose inhaled halogenated hydrocarbons that are not respiratory depressants None .

[a term newborn is apneic with a HR of 55 bpm you should?] Give supplemental oxygen Provide positive pressure ventilation Administer chest compressions Both b and c All of the above None . [A 10 kg child requires salbutamol; the order is for 0.03 mL/kg. How many mL of solution will you need?] 0.3 mL 0.03 mL 3 mL 30 mL None . [Aerosol deposition in the distal airways can be improved with:] Deep, slow insp flow breaths Deep, fast insp flow breaths Shallow, slow insp flow breaths Shallow, fast insp flow breaths None .

[You are paged to a ward. Upon arrival you are directed to a room. You enter and find two ward staff standing by a bed. As you enter the room your initial impression of the patient is that they are apneic and unresponsive. The patient has a HR of 50. As you are making these observations, the staff advise you that the patient has a Goal of Care R1. You ask the staff to:] Page for an additional respiratory therapist to help with your assessment of the patient Activate a call for assistance (code blue) Get an AED Do nothing as an R1 is not category that includes CPR in the goals None . [What percent of the adult population is believed to have obstructive sleep apnea?] <1% 2% to 4% 5% to 10% Unknown None . [A patient has a peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) of 5.2 L/sec before bronchodilator treatment and 6.3 L/sec after treatment. What percent change in PEFR occurred?] 0.08 0.17 0.21 0.26 None . [You set up a drythoracic drainage unit. How much water will you put into the suction control chamber?] None Fill it to 2 cm Fill it to the 20 cm mark Start at 10 cm and slowly None . [On assessment of an acutely ill patient, you note all the following in the region of the left lower lobe: decreased expansion, a dull percussion note, and the absent of breath sounds/tactile fremitus. You also observe a shift in the trachea toward the left, more prominent during inspiration. These findings suggest:] left-sided obstruction/atelectasis left-sided pneumothorax left-sided consolidation left-sided pleural effusion None . Time's up
