Questions About the Respiratory System With Answers Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse prepares a client who is scheduled for a bronchoscopy with transbronchial biopsy procedure at 9:00 AM (0900). What actions would the nurse NOT take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Correct Answer: A - Provide a clear liquid breakfast. Rationale: Preparing a client for a bronchoscopy with transbronchial biopsy involves NPO (nothing by mouth) after midnight to prevent aspiration during the procedure. Providing a clear liquid breakfast contradicts the NPO status required. Summary: - B: Verifying informed consent is essential to ensure the client understands the procedure and consents to it. - C: Documenting allergies is important to prevent any adverse reactions during the procedure. - D: Reviewing laboratory results is necessary to ensure the client's readiness for the procedure.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse admits a client from the emergency department. Client data are listed below: History Physical Assessment Laboratory Values ° 70 years of age ° Crackles and rhonchi heard ° WBC 5
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because the client's presentation suggests an acute respiratory issue, likely pneumonia. The client has crackles and rhonchi, low WBC count, and new onset dyspnea and cough. The priority is to assess oxygenation (PaO2 of 85 mm Hg), which is crucial in pneumonia. The client is on insulin, so blood glucose monitoring is vital. The other choices are not the priority at this moment: B is not the priority until oxygenation is assessed, C is premature without a confirmed diagnosis, and D can be done after prioritizing oxygenation.

D (within 48 hours) applies to hospital-acquired pneumonia but not all nosocomial cases.

Question 5 of 5
What is the initial antibiotic treatment for pneumonia based on?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The initial antibiotic treatment for pneumonia is typically based on the history, physical examination, and characteristic chest x-ray findings. This helps in identifying the specific causative organism and choosing the most appropriate antibiotic therapy. Gram stains and cultures may further confirm the diagnosis but are not typically used for initial treatment decisions.
