For each of the following statements, please apply your knowledge regarding anatomy of the upper respiratory tract by indicating which of the following are TRUE: 42. Some people have a quiet voice because their vocal cords are thin and short compared to others (with a loud voice), and therefore less able to vibrate and create loud sounds. F 43. Children typically have higher pitched voices than adults because their vocal cords are physically shorter and thinner, and they have smaller sinuses within in the skull. T 44. Vocal and vestibular folds can adduct during an effort closure, facilitating an increase in thoracic pressure (i.e. during Valsalva maneuver) T

Shawn is a 43-year-old man who lives in the Midwest and is highly allergic to dust and pollen, and has a history of mild asthma. Shawn's girlfriend drove him to the emergency room when his wheezing was unresponsive to his fluticasone/salmeterol (Advair) inhaler. Shawn was unable to lie down and began to use accessory muscles to breathe. Shawn is immediately started on 4 L oxygen by nasal cannula and intravenous (IV) D5W at 75 mL/hr. A set of arterial blood gases is sent to the laboratory. Shawn appears anxious and says that he is short of breath. Vital signs (VS) BP = 152/84 HR = 124 bpm RR = 42 Temp = 100.40F Arterial Blood Gases (ABGs) pH = 7.31 PaCO2 = 48 HCO3 = 26 PaO2 = 55 1)Do you have any concerns with the numbers above (VS & ABG’s in the case study)?
You are providing care to a 14 year old male teenager that was informed by the doctor of having restrictive pulmonary disease. A pulmonary function test was performed and also a TB test was done to evaluate his loss of in respiratory function and it was determined that he had reduced lung expansion. The child asks you several questions because he wants to learn much more about the ventilation process of his respiratory system. He asked the following questions because he noticed that you are a knowledgeable nurse. The boy was told by the doctor that the reason he felt always felt tired was because he had to use more energy to breathe. Why did he need more energy to breathe? What are the possible causes of this problem?
