Title: What term is used to describe the absence of breathing? Post by: emilyhoffman on Feb 25, 2018 What term is used to describe the absence of breathing?
a. Orthopnea b. Platypnea c. Eupnea d. Apnea Q. 2 A 23-year-old patient enters the emergency room complaining of dyspnea. The RT places the patient on oxygen as per hospital protocol and begins to interview the patient about her symptoms. She states that she is having difficulty taking a breath with chest tightness. Patient has a respiratory rate of 28 breaths/min with a loose productive cough. During ausculta-tion, the RT hears bilateral wheezing in the lungs. What is the most likely cause of the patient's symptoms? a. Asthma b. Bronchitis c. Congestive heart failure d. Emphysema Q. 3 Which of the following are formed elements in the blood? 1. Leukocytes 2. Erythrocytes 3. Thrombocytes 4. Electrolytes a. 1 and 2 only b. 1, 2, and 3 only c. 2, 3, and 4 only d. 1, 2, and 4 only Q. 4 During examination of a patient's extremities, you press firmly for a brief period on a fingernail. You observe that it takes approximately 5 sec for the color to return to the nail bed. This finding is most consistent with which of the following? a. Reduction in cardiac output or poor pe-ripheral perfusion b. Presence of a disorder causing chronic hypoxemia c. Reduction in venous return to the right side of the heart d. Presence of a disorder causing systemic hypertension Title: What term is used to describe the absence of breathing? Post by: test1234 on Feb 25, 2018 Apnea is the term used to describe no breathing and is typically caused by cardiac arrest, narcotic overdose, and severe brain trauma. A patient with asthma would suffer from dyspnea caused by the airway obstruction. Usually a patient with asthma will complain of chest tightness and difficulty to take a breath. Bilateral wheezing and a loose, productive cough are also signs of an asthma attack. The complete blood count (CBC) is routinely performed from a venous blood sample and exam-ines the formed elements in the blood. It provides a detailed description of the number of circu-lating white blood cells (WBCs), called leukocytes, red blood cells (RBCs), called erythrocytes, and platelets, called thrombocytes. When cardiac output is reduced and digital perfusion is poor, capillary refill is slow, taking sev-eral seconds to complete. In healthy individuals with good cardiac output and digital perfusion, capillary refill time is less than 3 sec. Title: What term is used to describe the absence of breathing?
