Fundamentals of Nursing Oxygenation Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following would suggest a difficult intubation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A thyromental distance of less than 2 fingers suggests a short neck, indicating a potentially difficult intubation.
Question 2 of 5
Which solution could be aerosolized to achieve sputum induction in a spontaneously breathing, non-intubated patient?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: 3% hypertonic saline is commonly used for sputum induction due to its ability to hydrate and mobilize secretions.
Question 3 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 4 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 5 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.
