TMC EXAM VERSION A

A patient involved in an automobile accident is brought to the ED with tachypnea, tracheal deviation to the right, splinting, asymmetrical chest movement, and decreased breath sounds on the left side. The respiratory therapist should initially

• insert a chest tube.
• administer 100% oxygen via mask.
• perform endotracheal intubation.
• initiate non-invasive positive pressure ventilation. - Correct Answer -

B.

A 77-year-old male patient is admitted to the emergency room with shortness of breath, fine basilar crackles, +2 pitting edema and a chest radiogram with a butterfly pattern. These results are most consistent with which of the following?

• Pulmonary edema
• Pulmonary interstitial emphysema
• Pneumothorax
• Emphysema - Correct Answer - A. 1 / 4

pg. 2 Which of the following formulas will determine the total flow being delivered to a patient with a 28% venturi mask running at 6 L/min?

• total flow = 6 x 2
• total flow = 6 x 4
• total flow = 6 x 5
• total flow = 6 x 11 - Correct Answer - D.

Fine crepitant crackles are most commonly associated with which of the following conditions?

• Bronchitis
• Pulmonary edema
• Pneumonia
• Foreign body aspiration - Correct Answer - B.

A patient with end-stage pulmonary fibrosis is receiving oxygen at 2 L/min via a transtracheal oxygen catheter. The patient experiences an increased work of breathing and shortness of breath. The respiratory therapist should

• manually ventilate the patient with a resuscitation bag.
• increase the flow to the transtracheal catheter to 6 L/min.
• evaluate the SpO2 with a pulse oximeter.
• flush the transtracheal device with isotonic saline. - Correct Answer -

D.

pg. 3 During bedside monitoring the respiratory therapist notices a dampened waveform on the arterial line graphic. To restore the graphic to normal, the therapist should first

• verify the position of the transducer.
• check the transducer dome for air bubbles.
• flush the catheter with heparin solution.
• attempt to draw blood from the arterial line. - Correct Answer - B.

An optimal PEEP study is initiated on a patient receiving mechanical ventilation. The respiratory therapist first places the patient on a PEEP of 10 cm H2O for 20 minutes with no adverse effects. The PEEP is increased to 15 cm H2O and the patient's heart rate rises significantly with a severe fall in the blood pressure. Based upon the above information, the therapist should conclude that the patient is suffering from

• peripheral vasoconstriction.
• hypovolemia.
• increased venous return.
• - Correct Answer - B

A post-operative thoracotomy patient is receiving incentive spirometry therapy Q2H. Breath sounds are diminished in the bases of the lungs with scattered crackles. The patient's inspiratory capacity has decreased over the past 2 days. A chest radiograph indicates thin-layered basilar densities. Which of the following has most likely occurred?

• Atelectasis
• Pneumonia 3 / 4

• Pulmonary edema
• Consolidation - Correct Answer - A.

A patient is in full cardiopulmonary arrest and after several attempts, the patient is orally intubated with a size 7 mm ID endotracheal tube. The nurse is unable to establish IV access. The ECG monitor shows sinus bradycardia. Which of the following drugs should be administered through the endotracheal tube?

• Lidocaine
• Epinephrine
• Atropine
• Dobutamine - Correct Answer - C.

The results of a patient's spirometry are recorded as follows:

Predicted Observed

FVC (L) 3.5 2.1

FEV1 (L) 2.7 2.6

FRC (L) 2.5 1.7

TLC (L) 5.6 4.2

These results are indicative of

• normal lung function.
• sarcoidosis.
• acute bronchitis.
