Hypoxia CORRECT IT IS THE STATE OF CONDITION surfactant agent can be administered through breathing apparatus; continuous positive airway pressure b. Respiratory distress syndrome( RSD) INCORRECT it is a disease happens on premature infant hyaline membrame is affected. c. Asthma :Incorrect can response to albuterol and sometime it only activate on s d. Chronic bronchitis disorder incorrect associate mostly in COPD case 2. An acute with chronic disease characterized by a recurrent on low compliances in airway resistance that affects 30 million people due to carcinogenic substance on smokers called a. Pneumonia Incorrect does not involve carcinogenic substances it s an infection of lower respiratory due to bacterial b.

5 C. Chronic emphysema, pulmonary embolism, chronic bronchitis (A pulmonary embolism can occur from COPD complications) D. Polycythemia, pneumonia, bronchitis(polycythemia is a sign/complication of COPD) E. Pulmonary edema, pulmonary embolism, emphysema(pulmonary embolism & edema are sign/symptom/complication from COPD) 2. A possible symptom of COPD is polycythemia, this is due to : A. the low blood oxygen level, the bone marrow makes more RBC s B. the lung volume reduction, the bone marrow makes more RBC s(the lung volume would have no effect on polycythemia) C. A ruptured lung leaks air into the pleural space, creating pain and shortness of breath.(this is pneumothorax) D. Pulmonary hypertension, back flow of blood into the legs(this is pulmonary edema) E. Cyanosis causes the patient to turn a pale blue color(this occurs when there is not enough oxygen in the body) 3. All the following are signs and symptoms of COPD except: A. Barrel chest (a barrel chest arises due to the CO2 trapped in the lungs) B. Using shoulders and neck to breath(a person does this in an attempt to exhale all the trapped air) C. Chest x-ray shows overinflated lungs (all the CO2 trapped in the lungs can be seen) D. Pulmonary hypertension(due to low oxygen in blood the pressure in the pulmonary artery (from the heart to the lungs) increases) E. Pneumonia 4. Which of the following statements is correct about the mechanism of COPD? A. Air is trapped in the lungs after exhalation, the number of capillaries in the alveoli walls decrease-lowering the amount of gas exchange. B. Air is trapped in the lungs after inhalation, the number of capillaries in the alveoli walls decrease-lowering the amount of gas exchange.(air is trapped after exhalation) C. The nitrogen is trapped in the lungs and the gas exchanged through the capillaries to the pleural space is increased.(co2 is trapped in the lungs and does not go to the pleural space) D. Air is trapped in the lungs after exhalation, the number of capillaries in the alveoli walls decrease-increasing the amount of gas exchange.(the amount of gas exchange is decreased!) E. The carbon dioxide is trapped in the lungs and the oxygen is exchanged through the capillaries to the pleural space. (oxygen does not exchange to the pleural cavity it does through the alveoli) 5. Causes of COPD include all of the following except: A. Smoking (15% of all smokers end their life with COPD) B. Long term second hand smoke exposure(this is the second leading cause of COPD) C. Long term exposure to air pollution (this is a major cause of COPD) D. A genetic disorder called Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency(This is the rare genetic disorder that causes COPD) E. A genetic disorder called Beta-1-Blocker Deficiency(A beta blocker is an smooth muscle relaxer, thus it helps with COPD, not cause it) 5
