Question: 2
What is the term used to describe a patient's condition involving painful and paradoxical breathing?
A. Dysphoria
B. Hyperventilation
C. Flail chest
D. Hypoventilation
Answer: C
Explanation:
Flail chest is when a section of the ribs becomes unattached to the chest wall, and involves painful and
paradoxical breathing. Paradoxical breathing is a result of the flail segment moving in the opposite
direction of the rest of the chest wall due to pressure variances inside the chest. Taking a normal breath
becomes very painful for patients experiencing paradoxical breathing.
Hyperventilation is associated with rapid or deep breathing.
Hypoventilation is associated with slow or shallow breathing.
Dysphoria is abnormal mentation, typically associated with anesthetic recovery.
