When someone is on a ventilator, there is always a danger of hyper- or hypoventilating the patient, thus respiratory therapists closely monitor exhaled Pco2 and arterial pH. If arterial pH of a patient on a ventilator is elevated (alkalosis), how should the respiratory therapist adjust the ventilator. Increase forced vital capacity Decrease alveolar ventilation Decrease expiratory reserve volume

Asthma is a common obstructive disease of the airways of the lungs, which can be diagnosed using the pulmonary function test, spirometry. Which of the following statements is most likely to indicate a patient with an obstructive pulmonary disorder? Spirometry test results indicating an increased forced vital capacity. Spirometry test results indicating a forced expiratory volume of 85% compared to predicted values. Spirometry test results indicating an FVC/FEV1 ratio of 0.9. Spirometry test results indicating a forced expiratory volume of 72% compared to predicted values.
How does a nonrebreathing mask work? A one-way valve located between the reservoir bag and the base of the mask allows gas from the reservoir bag to enter the mask on inhalation but prevents gas in the mask from flowing back into the reservoir bag during exhalation. O It has a reservoir bag that must remain inflated during both inspiration and expiration. The nurse adjusts the oxygen flow to ensure that the bag does not collapse during inhalation. The mask is constructed in a way that allows a constant flow of room air blended with a fixed flow of oxygen. Excess gas leaves the mask through the two exhalation ports, carrying with it the exhaled carbon dioxide.

Prior to begin training for a marathon, you have some lung function tests performed. Your measured tidal volume at rest is 550 mL, your dead space volume is 150 mL, and your resting breathing rate is 12 breaths per minute. On a treadmill, your tidal volume increases to 1150 mL and your breathing rate increases to 30 breaths per minute. What is your alveolar ventilation rate when you are on the treadmill? O 30 Liters/min O 4.8 Liters/min O 12 Liters/min O 34.5 Liters/min O 6.6 Liters/min
