front 1 Cystic fibrosis is associated with | back 1 bronchiectasis |
front 2 The organism that causes pulmonary tuberculosis is | back 2 Mycobacterium tuberculosis |
front 3 Croup is characterized by | back 3 a barking cough. |
front 4 Which complication of asthma is life threatening? | back 4 Status asthmaticus |
front 5 Individuals who have chronic bronchitis most often have | back 5 a productive cough. |
front 6 When exposed to inhaled allergens, a patient with asthma produces large quantities of | back 6 IgE. |
front 7 A major risk factor for the development of active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) disease is | back 7 immunosuppression. |
front 8 In individuals who have asthma, exposure to an allergen to which they are sensitized leads to which pathophysiologic event? | back 8 Inflammation, mucosal edema, and bronchoconstriction |
front 9 Emphysema results from destruction of alveolar walls and capillaries, which is because of | back 9 release of proteolytic enzymes from immune cells. |
front 10 Which assessment would support a diagnosis of type A COPD rather than type B COPD | back 10 Normal PaCO2, scant sputum, accessory muscle use, barrel chest |
front 11 A common characteristic of viral pneumonia is | back 11 dry cough. |
front 12 The most definitive diagnostic method for active tuberculosis is acquired via | back 12 sputum culture. |
front 13 Which clinical manifestation is not likely the result of a tuberculosis infection? | back 13 Cyanosis |
front 14 Asthma is categorized as a(n) | back 14 obstructive pulmonary disorder. |
front 15 The hallmark manifestation of acute respiratory distress syndrome is | back 15 hypoxemia. |
front 16 The patient who requires the most careful monitoring for development of metabolic acidosis is a patient who | back 16 has had diarrhea for over a week |
front 17 When preparing for the admission of a client diagnosed with bronchiectasis, the nurse will | back 17 put a sputum cup and a box of tissues on the bedside table. |
front 18 Widespread atelectasis, non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, and diffuse, fluffy alveolar infiltrates on chest radiograph are characteristic of | back 18 acute respiratory distress syndrome. |
front 19 An increase in the resting membrane potential (hyperpolarized) is associated with | back 19 hypokalemia. |
front 20 The primary cause of infant respiratory distress syndrome is | back 20 lack of surfactant. |
front 21 Respiratory acidosis is associated with | back 21 increased carbonic acid. |
front 22 What age group has a larger volume of extracellular fluid than intracellular fluid? | back 22 Infants |
front 23 Manifestations from sodium imbalances occur primarily as a result of | back 23 cellular fluid shifts. |
front 24 Clinical manifestations of extracellular fluid volume deficit include | back 24 weak pulse, low blood pressure, and increased heart rate. |
front 25 Diarrhea and other lower intestinal fluid losses will contribute to | back 25 metabolic acidosis. |
front 26 The nurse provides teaching regarding dietary intake of potassium to avoid an electrolyte imbalance when a patient | back 26 has chronic heart failure that is treated with diuretics. |
front 27 Which acid are the kidneys unable to excrete? | back 27 Carbonic |
front 28 Hyperaldosteronism causes | back 28 ECV excess and hypokalemia. |
front 29 Respiratory acidosis may be caused by | back 29 hypoventilation. |
front 30 What is the most likely explanation for a diagnosis of hypernatremia in an elderly patient receiving tube feeding? | back 30 Inadequate water intake |
front 31 Which change in a patient’s assessment has the greatest urgency? | back 31 Serum potassium concentration is increasing; has developed cardiac dysrhythmias, but denies any difficulty breathing |
front 32 The imbalance that occurs with oliguric renal failure is | back 32 hyperkalemia. |
front 33 Signs and symptoms of extracellular fluid volume excess include | back 33 bounding pulse |
front 34 How is a patient hospitalized with a malignant tumor that secretes parathyroid hormone–related peptide monitored for the resulting electrolyte imbalance? | back 34 Serum calcium, bowel function, level of consciousness |
front 35 The person at highest risk for developing hypernatremia is a person who | back 35 receives tube feedings because he or she is comatose after a stroke. |
front 36 A patient, who is 8 months pregnant, has developed eclampsia and is receiving intravenous magnesium sulfate to prevent seizures. To determine if her infusion rate is too high, you should regularly | back 36 check the patellar reflex; if it becomes weak or absent, her infusion rate probably is too high and she is at risk for respiratory depression or cardiac arrest. |
front 37 A patient has a positive Chvostek sign. The nurse interprets this as a sign of | back 37 increased neuromuscular excitability. |
front 38 Which electrolyte imbalances cause increased neuromuscular excitability? | back 38 Hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia |
front 39 A person with acute hypoxemia may hyperventilate and develop | back 39 respiratory alkalosis. |
front 40 Clinical manifestations of severe symptomatic hypophosphatemia are caused by | back 40 deficiency of ATP |
