respiratory patients

Which of the following is a genetic disorder that predisposes the patient to repeated lung infections?

Cystic fibrosis

In what area of the lungs does respiration occur?

alveoli

In order for efficient pulmonary gas exchange to occur:

oxygen and carbon dioxide must be able to freely diffuse across the alveolar-capillary membrane

Which of the following is MOST characteristic of adequate breathing?

24 breaths/min with bilaterally equal breath sounds and pink skin

Which of the following conditions would be LEAST likely to result in hypoxia?

severe anxiety

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

Air moves primarily in the anatomic dead space and does not participate in pulmonary gas exchange.

How does CPAP improve oxygenation and ventilation in patients with certain respiratory problems?
