In what area of the lungs does respiration occur?
alveoli
21
In order for efficient pulmonary gas exchange to occur:
oxygen and carbon dioxide must be able to freely diffuse across the alveolar-capillary membrane
22
Which of the following is MOST characteristic of adequate breathing?
24 breaths/min with bilaterally equal breath sounds and pink skin
23
Which of the following conditions would be LEAST likely to result in hypoxia?
severe anxiety
24
Treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) would MOST likely be contraindicated in which of the following situations?
Shortness of breath and a blood pressure of 76/56 mm Hg
25
Asthma is caused by a response of the:
immune system
26

A patient who is suspected of being hypoxic and is breathing adequately should be given supplemental oxygen a
nonrebreathing mask.
40
What occurs when a patient is breathing very rapidly and shallowly?
Air moves primarily in the anatomic dead space and does not participate in pulmonary gas exchange.
41
How does CPAP improve oxygenation and ventilation in patients with certain respiratory problems?
It forces the alveoli open and pushes oxygen across the alveolar membrane.
