Acute Respiratory Care Nursing Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
When moving a client up in bed with the assistance of another caregiver, the nurse should:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A pillow provides comfort and support. Elevating (A) hinders movement. Folding arms (B) isn’t standard. Asking another nurse (C) is unclear.
Question 2 of 5
A patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is at risk for which complication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: COPD impairs gas exchange, leading to hypoxemia (low blood oxygen) due to airway obstruction and alveolar damage, not hyperoxia, bradycardia, or hypertension.
Question 3 of 5
A patient with heart failure is at risk for which oxygenation issue?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Heart failure can cause pulmonary edema (fluid in alveoli), impairing gas exchange and oxygenation, more than pneumothorax, bronchitis, or hyperventilation.
Question 4 of 5
Which oxygen delivery method provides the highest concentration?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A non-rebreather mask delivers up to 100% oxygen by preventing rebreathing exhaled air, exceeding nasal cannula (24-44%), simple mask (40-60%), or Venturi mask (24-50%).
Question 5 of 5
Which condition increases the work of breathing?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Pneumonia causes lung inflammation and consolidation, increasing resistance and the work of breathing, unlike hypertension, anemia, or diabetes, which affect circulation or metabolism.
