Respiratory System NCLEX Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
As the nurse responsible for this client's care, you anticipate which physician's orders?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
In planning care for the patient with bronchiectasis, which nursing intervention should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse obtains the health history of a client who is recently diagnosed with lung cancer and identifies that the client has a 60 pack-year smoking history. Which action is most important for the nurse to take when interviewing this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: C is correct as maintaining a nonjudgmental attitude is crucial to establish trust and rapport with the client. It helps the client feel comfortable sharing information, leading to better assessment and care. A is incorrect as quitting smoking may not be the immediate priority. B is incorrect as honesty about marijuana use is not the primary concern. D is incorrect as it does not address the importance of establishing a therapeutic relationship.
Question 4 of 5
Partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the inspired and expired air respectively
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The partial pressure of carbon dioxide in inspired air is around 0.3 mm Hg as it is very low in atmospheric air. During expiration, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide increases to around 40 mm Hg due to its exchange in the lungs. This makes option A the correct answer. Option B is incorrect because the partial pressure of CO2 in expired air is not 32 mm Hg. Option C is incorrect as 40 mm Hg is the partial pressure in expired air, not inspired air. Option D is incorrect because 0.3 mm Hg is the partial pressure in inspired air, not expired air.
Question 5 of 5
2,3 DPG is synthesized from 3- phosphoglyceraldehyde through
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Embden Meyerhof pathway. In this pathway, 2,3 DPG is synthesized from 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde through a series of enzymatic reactions involving intermediates like 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate. This process occurs in the glycolysis pathway, specifically in the conversion of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate by the enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase. The other choices, B: Krebs Hensleit cycle, C: Hexose monophosphate shunt, and D: Cori cycle, are not involved in the direct synthesis of 2,3 DPG from 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde. Krebs Hensleit cycle is the citric acid cycle, Hexose monophosphate shunt is the pentose phosphate pathway, and Cori cycle is the process of lactate recycling in the liver.
