[Heliox is used for all of the following EXCEPT:] Large airway obstruction Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Post-extubation stridor Pleurisy None . [Which of the following tests would you recommend in order to identify the cause of dyspnea and factors limiting a patient's exercise tolerance?] 6-minute walking distance overnight oximetry assessment peak expiratory flow rate comprehensive exercise test None . [Which of the following is the indica!on for Omalizumab?] Moderate to severe asthma not well controlled with maximized conven!onal therapy Moderate to severe asthma with allergic components, poorly controlled with minimal conven!onal therapy Moderate to severe asthma with allergic components, poorly controlled with maximized conven!onal therapy Moderate to severe asthma with allergic components, well controlled with maximized onven!onal therapy None . [The agent with the least plasma solubility is] Sevo Des Iso Nitrous oxide None . [Which of the following factors decreases MAC?] Hyperthermia Hypothermia Young age Acute amphetamine intoxication None . [During a ventilator test, you determine that the delivered volume is substantially less than the set volume. To determine if the ventilator volume setting is out of calibration, you would:] measure the volume delivered at the ventilator outlet using a calibrated volumeter perform a manual circuit leak test using a low volume and inspiratory pause compare a variety of inspiratory time settings against a digital stop watch measure the volume delivered at the patient connector using a calibrated volumeter None . [Which of the following controls would you activate or adjust in the event the patient suddenly becomes hypercapnic and hyperthermic?] Rate control on ventilator Oxygen flush control APL Oxygen flow meter None . [Which of the following cough methods would be best for helping a COPD patient clear secretions?] cough with standard compression phase the forced expiratory technique/huff coughing abdominal thrust synchronize to explosive phase autogenic drainage plus standard coughing None . [When inspecting the X-ray of an out-patient with nephrotic syndrome, you note a homogeneous area of increased density that obscures the left costophrenic angle. Which of the following is the most likely problem?] pleural effusion bacterial pneumonia pulmonary edema atelectasis None . [A doctor orders BiPAP for a patient with CHF and acute pulmonary edema just admitted to the Emergency Department. What FIO2 would you set for this patient?] 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 None . [To maximize the FIO2 delivered by a manual bag-valve resuscitator you would:] attach a PEEP valve decrease bag refill time remove the inlet valve increase bag refill time None . [The patient is intubated and placed on a mechanical ventilator, during a mandatory inspiration you observe tidaling in the underwater seal of the thoracic drainage unit. Which direction is it observed?] Move towards the suction control chamber Moves toward the patient Moves away from the patient Tidaling should never be observed in the underwater seal  None . [All of the following are parameters used to confirm the metabolic syndrome associated with obstruc!ve sleep apnea, except:] Low triglycerides Insulin resistance Hypertension Impaired glucose intolerance None .

[A patient is breathing a rate of 12 br/min. Their tidal volume is 450 mL/breath, and they are on a large volume nebulizer at an FiO2 of 0.35 with a set O2 flow of 12 LPM. Is this likely to be a fixed performance device AND what approximate FiO2 is the patient receiving?] Yes/=0.35 No/<0.35 No/>0.35 Cannot calculate None . [While reviewing the chart of a patient with lobar pneumonia, you note that the respiratory rate for the last 24 hours has increased from 18 to 38/min. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the increased respiratory rate?] hypothermia hyperkalemia hypoxemia metabolic alkalosis None . [A doctor requests that you use positioning to improve the oxygenation of an adult patient with lobar pneumonia of the right middle and lower lobes. Which of the following positions would you select?] Right lateral decubitus position Trendelenburg position Left lateral decubitus position Semi-Fowler's position None . [The only medical indication for the use of helium/oxygen mixtures is in the management of:] small airway obstruction restrictive diseases large airway obstruction diffusion defects None . [A doctor wants an outpatient with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension to self-administer an inhaled pulmonary vasodilator.
