NCLEX Oxygenation Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
What should be done before spirometry testing?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Bronchodilators are held before spirometry so that a baseline assessment of airway function can be determined. Testing is repeated after bronchodilator use to determine whether the decrease in lung function is reversible. There is no need for the patient to be NPO. Oral corticosteroids should be held before spirometry. Rescue medications (which are bronchodilators) would not be given until after the baseline pulmonary function was assessed.
