Question 3 of 5
A nurse is providing care after auscultating a client's breath sounds. Which assessment finding is correctly matched to the nurse's primary intervention?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because wheezes indicate narrowing of airways, requiring bronchodilation. Step 1: Identify the assessment finding (wheezes). Step 2: Understand that wheezes indicate airway constriction. Step 3: Appropriately intervene by administering a bronchodilator to dilate the airways and improve breathing. Other choices are incorrect because: A: Increasing oxygen flow rate does not address airway constriction. B: Encouraging coughing for crackles does not address airway narrowing. D: Deep breathing for vesicular sounds does not target airway constriction.
Question 4 of 5
The Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium lining the trachea is composed of
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Goblet cells. Goblet cells are responsible for secreting mucus in the respiratory tract, aiding in trapping and removing foreign particles. This is crucial for protecting the lungs from debris and pathogens. Macrophages are immune cells that engulf and digest pathogens, not a component of the epithelium. Fibroblasts are connective tissue cells, not part of the epithelial lining. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
Question 5 of 5
Which one is a Non-reversible pulmonary disease in which the bronchi are blocked with mucous and infection and rupture of alveoli
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Emphysema is the correct answer because it is a non-reversible pulmonary disease characterized by the destruction of lung tissue, leading to the blockage of bronchioles and rupture of alveoli. This results in difficulty breathing and reduced oxygen exchange. Silicosis (A) is caused by inhaling silica dust, not related to bronchial blockage. Asphyxia (B) is a condition of suffocation, not related to pulmonary disease. Embolism (D) is the blockage of a blood vessel by a clot, not specific to the bronchi or alveoli.
