LJU: TMC FORM G EXAM 2024/2025WITH 100% ACCURATE SOLUTIONS
A respiratory therapist has achieved the following weaning parameters
on a post-operative patient who experienced a total knee replacement.
The SpO2 is 97% on 35% oxygen.
Spont VT 480 mL
VC 1600 mL
VE 7.0 L
MIP -4 cm H2O
The next best action would be to
A. check the pressure manometer for leaks
B. reduce FIO2 to 0.30
C. evaluate the MEF
D. return to full mechanical ventilation - Precise Answer ✔✔The
correct answer is : A
Explanation :
Most of the weaning parameters listed are very good and suggest that the
patient is strong enough for weaning. The respiratory therapist should
not believe the NIF result of -4 cm H2O because it is not consistent with
the remainder of the results. A leak is likely present in the manometer
set up.
,In preparation for a smoking cessation class, the therapist should include
information on which of the following agents?
A. Aminophylline
B. Pronestyl
C. Sub-lingual Lidocaine spray
D. nicotine patch - Precise Answer ✔✔The correct answer is : D
Explanation :
Of the options offered, only the nicotine patch will be helpful for a
patient who is trying to stop smoking. Other medications listed here
relate to the heart or long-term bronchodilation.
A respiratory therapy supervisor is responsible for making suggestions
in the initial development of a smoking cessation program. Which of the
following would be part of an effective smoking cessation program?
A. Nicotine replacement therapy
B. removing pulmonary irritants from the house
C. daily COHb analysis
D. daily completion of an asthma action plan - Precise Answer ✔✔The
correct answer is : A
Explanation :
To stop smoking, both physiological and emotional barriers must be
addressed. The patient may be helped best through nicotine replacement
therapy and emotional support. Routine monitoring of the patient's
,progress is also helpful. Removing irritants from the house will not help
the patient stop smoking.
Heated humidification would be most important for a patient using
A. an endotracheal tube
B. a 6 L/min nasal cannula
C. a Venturi mask set at FIO2 0.5
D. a face tent with an air entrainment device set at 50% - Precise
Answer ✔✔The correct answer is : A
Explanation :
Heated humidification is most helpful to patients who cannot receive
humidification by natural means. This occurs when an artificial airway is
in place and the natural humidification processes of the body are
bypassed. An endotracheal tube is an example of such an airway.
A 5-year-old patient with acute epiglottitis has just received a
tracheotomy and is returned to the emergency department for
monitoring. The patient is now breathing through a tracheostomy tube.
Which of the following is most important at this time?
A. keep the tracheostomy tube cuff inflated
B. mechanical ventilatory support
C. provide heated humidity
D. provide cool aerosol therapy - Precise Answer ✔✔The correct
answer is : C
, Explanation :
A patient who has a tracheostomy tube in place is unable to naturally
humidify inspired gases because the natural humidification processes of
the body, including the nasal passages and oropharynx, are bypassed. In
this case, providing heated humidity, which can make up the entire
humidity deficit, is paramount.
The preferred method of delivery for humidification for a pediatric
patient during a transport lasting twelve hours is a (an)
A. cascade humidifier
B. bubble humidifier
C. HME
D. heated humidifier - Precise Answer ✔✔The correct answer is : C
Explanation :
A heat moisture exchanger (HME), is inexpensive, convenient, and
practical for a relatively short duration transport. The other options
would be difficult or impossible to manage for a patient transport.
The respiratory therapist is asked to estimate the alveolar minute
ventilation on a spontaneously breathing 68 kg (150 lb) female who is
receiving oxygen therapy by air-entrainment mask at FIO2 0.50. The
following data is available
Exhaled VT 450 mL
mPAP 15 torr
PaCO2 40 torr
