| What is hypoventilation? | decreased rate or depth of air movement |
| what causes hypoventilation? | narcotic analgesics, depressed respiratory center |
| What is atelectasis? | collapse of alveoli preventing exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide |
| what condition(s) predispose a patient to atelectasis? | surgery, pnemonia, airway condition, pneumothorax |
| What is the purpose of pulmonary function tests? | measure lung capacity, lung volume and flow rate |
| What is the purpose of Sputum Analysis? | to determine the presence of abnormal cells, with sensitivity when suspect pneumonia, Sputum for AFB detects Tuberculosis |
| When is the best time to collect a sputum specimen? | in the morning, rinse mouth prior to collecting specimen |
| What is an Endoscopy? | a direct visualization of the body cavity |
| what is a bronchoscopy? | examination of the bronchi |
| What is a endoscopy/bronchoscopy used for? | to look for tumors of lesions, obtain a biopsy, remove foreign substances |
| What patient prep is required for an endoscopy? | informed consent, patient teaching, NPO 6-8 hrs before procedure, sedative may be prescribed |
| What is required for post-procedure care after and endoscopy? | NPO until gag reflex returns, check vital signs, observe for respiratory distress, warm saline gargles to relieve throat irritation |
| What views are needed for a chest x-ray? | PA (posterior-anterior) and Lateral |
| What are some nursing implications for a chest x-ray? | no clothing or jewelry from waist up, client hold their breath for a clear image |
| What is a VQ scan? | Ventilation and Perfusion scan, used to identify areas of lung not receiving airflow or blood flow and to diagnose pulmonary emboli |
| What happens during a VQ scan? | radioscope is injected into vein, client inhales radioactive gas |
| What is a Thoracentesis used for? | to diagnosis or to remove excess fluid in the lung |
| What is the position for a thoracentesis? | sit at bedside with arms folded over bedside stand. Lie on unaffected side with opposite arm raised above shoulder |
| What are the nurses responsibilities for a thoracentesis? | instruct patient not to cough or deep breath during the procedure, position the patient, baseline VS and SaO2, monitor respiratory status, CXR after procedure |
| What are signs and Symptoms of Punctured lung? | dyspnea, bloody sputum, cough, absent breath sounds |
| What is the best position for lung expansion? | High Fowlers; dont let patient slouch over |
| What is Deep breathing? | breath deeply enough to move bottom ribs, inspire through nose hold for 3 seconds, expire slowly through the mouth YOGA |
| What is Pursed-lip breathing? | prolonged exhailation, promotes removal of CO2, purse lips(blow out candle or whistle), inhale slowly (count to three), exhale slowly for count of 7 against pursed lips |
| What is Diaphragmatic breathing? | expand diaphragm on inspiration, |
| What is splinting? | pillow/blanket to support painful are when moving or during breathing exercises, enables client to participate in C & DB and incentive spirometry |
| What is a Incentive Spirometry? | meant to help you breath more deeply, measures strength/depth of inspiration, re-expnads collapsed alveoli |
| What is the purpose of coughing? | clears the airway of secretions, voluntary coughing for post-operative clients |
| What is the difference between a dry and a productive cough? | a productive cough has secretions |
| What does Suctioning do? | removes pooled secretions |
| What does Chest Physiotherapy do? | helps loosen secretions with percussion and vibration |

| What does an oxygen order include? | type of device, amount; flow rate in liters per minute or percentage, frequency |
| What are some safety precautions when using oxygen? | signs on door "oxygen in use", no combustible or flammable chemicals, no smoking, check equipment, use water-soluble lubricant on nares, store tanks safely-upright in stand and use correctly |
| What is a nasal cannula? | flow rate 1-6 L/min, goes straight into nares and used for clients requiring low doses, does not interfere with speaking or eating, easily dislodged, can cause dryness of nasal mucosa, portable systems; used in home setting |
| Face mask? | concentration 35-60%, set low rate to at least 5L/min to prevent rebreathing exhaled air...snug fit to patients face; cover nose and mouth, disadvantages; interfere with eating and talking, need an MDs order to switch to NC while eating, pressure and mois |
| Venturi mask | precise concentrations of O2, port and flow rate are adjusted to deliver prescribed concentration; ex 28% Venturi mask flow rate is set at 4L/min, adjustable ports must always remain open/uncovered |
| Partial Rebreather Mask | reservoir bag collects part of exhaled air and mixes it with O2 remaining exhaled air goes through vents, set flow rates so that reservoir bag remains 2/3rd full during inspiration, bag fills on expiration, flow rate; 6-15 L/min, concentration up to 90% |
| Non Rebreather Mask | used to deliver highest concentrations of O2 for severe hypoxia, valve b/w mask and bag that closes on expiration so no exhaled air is being re-breathed, exhaled air escapes through side vents, flow rate: 15L/min concentration is up to 100% |
| How are partial rebreather and Non rebreather masks similar? | both have reservoir bags, both use high flow rates |
| How are NRB and PRB masks different? | NRM has valve; reservoir bag remains inflated with O2...PRM has no valve; reservoir bag should deflate slightly with each inspiration |
| Metered Dose Inhaler | important to teach and review correct technique, improper technique equals an inadequate does of medications, worsening of respiratory status, label/mark inhalers to avoid confusing medications |
| Instructions for a MDI... | shake well, exhale, inhale slowly and deeply (3-5 seconds) while administering one puff, hold breath for 5-10 seconds, remove MDI from mouth before exhaling |
| How can you tell is an MDi is empty? | calculate number of doses left in canister |
| nebulizer | liquid medication is added to nebulizer cup. Patient inhales mist until medication is gone |
