| back 15 True |
front 16 True or False?
| back 16 True |
front 17 List the hazards of oxygen administration. | back 17 To high of an oxygen concentration may cause reversible tracheobronchitis
|

front 19 Ms. Gwen Knics has entered the radiography room for an intravenous urograph. After the injection of contrast, she begins to experience tightness of the chest and difficulty breathing.Which is the best response?
| back 19 D) Call for the radiography nurse. |
front 20 A respiration of few then 10 breaths/min in an adult may result in what? | back 20 cyanosis |
front 21 The blood pressure reading that occurs during the relaxation of the ventricles.
| back 21 C) Diastolic |
front 22 Bell-like; resonance pertaining to the tympanum
| back 22 A) Tympanic |
front 23 The blood pressure reading taken during the contraction of the ventricles while the blood is in the arteries.
| back 23 D) Systolic |
front 24 Extraneous sounds heard during the taking of blood pressure; may be a tapping, knocking, or swishing sound.
| back 24 B) Korotkoff sounds |
front 25 Easily vaporized or evaporated; unstable or explosive in nature
| back 25 E) volatile |
front 26 When a patient is using more than the normal effort to breathe, he or she is said to have this disorder. Labored or difficult breathing resulting from insufficient airflow to the lungs.
| back 26 D) Dyspnea |
front 27 A condition in which the blood does not supply enough oxygen to the body, causing a blueinsh tone. May be caused by respiration of less than 10 breaths/min.
| back 27 A) cyanosis |
front 28 A disease of the lungs in which respiratory and expiratory lung capacity is diminished. Excessive oxygen in the blood of a patient with this disorder may depress the respiration drive and the patient may stop breathing.
| back 28 E) Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease |
front 29 An abnormal condition in which the myocardium contracts at a rate greater than 100 beats/min. Abnormally fast heart rate
| back 29 B) Tachycardia |
front 30 An abnormal circulatory condition in which the heart beats in a regular pattern but at a rate of less than 60 beats/min. Abnormally slow heart rate
| back 30 C) Bradycardia |
