1. Which of the following major forces opposes inspiration?

a. Inspiratory flow
b. Surface tension
c. Airway resistance

2. Pulmonary function testing has been ordered in an infant. Which of the following represents a
real risk to this infant?
a. The infant may require sedation for up to 3 hours.
b. If the infant cries, it will make the test invalid or open to misinterpretation.
c. The gases used for the PFT may be toxic for the infant.
d. The inability to feed the child 24 hours prior to the test
ANS: B
In infant testing, the subject may need to be lightly sedated in the laboratory for 2 to 3 hours
to complete a full set of studies. Sedation carries some risk, and testing should not be viewed
as routine. The NPO guidelines from the hospital sedation policy may allow infants who are
younger than 6 months to receive formula and solids for up to 6 hours, breast milk for up to 4
hours, and clear liquids for up to 2 hours before sedation. Children who are 6 months or older
may receive solids and liquids for up to 6 hours and clear liquids for up to 2 hours before
sedation.

3. Why must caution be exercised when using a face mask while performing pulmonary function
testing on neonates?
a. To prevent trigeminal nerve stimulation
b. To avoid necrosis of the facial skin
c. To prevent vagal reflexes
d. To prevent gastric insufflations
ANS: A
A face mask is required when testing neonates and infants. Caution must be exercised because
using a face mask can cause trigeminal nerve stimulation and induce vagal reflexes that may
