Fundamentals of Nursing Oxygenation Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The following pressure, flow, and volume waveform would be present with what mode of ventilation:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Without the waveform, the answer key indicates 'a'. Assist-Control Volume Control Ventilation (ACVCV) delivers set tidal volumes with consistent flow patterns, matching typical waveforms.
Question 2 of 5
During an assessment, you notice the patient has increased resonance over their RUL when performing percussion. Which of following may be a cause of the increased resonance?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Increased resonance (hyperresonance) on percussion suggests air trapping, as in a pneumothorax, unlike consolidation or effusion which dull the sound.
Question 3 of 5
A wide QRS complex (>0.12 seconds) on an ECG is indicative of:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A wide QRS (>0.12 s) suggests ventricular origin, as in ventricular tachycardia, rather than supraventricular rhythms.
Question 4 of 5
Safety is necessary when oxygenating a human.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Safety is indeed necessary when oxygenating a human because oxygen is highly flammable, and improper handling can lead to serious risks such as fires or explosions. Proper precautions ensure the safety of both the patient and the caregiver.
Question 5 of 5
Of all factors, what is the most important risk factor in pulmonary disease?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cigarette smoke (active and passive) is the leading cause of pulmonary diseases like COPD and lung cancer.
