What would Joe's respiratory rate most likely be noted as: O Within Reference/Normal Limits O Hyperventilation O Hypoventilation

Please answer both Lung compliance generally decreases as people age. If nothing else changes, how would this loss of compliance affect the act of ventilation? How would alveolar pressure and lung volume be expected to change in a person with an airway disease that involves fibrosis? Why

Normal, resting breaths are called: O Vital capacity O Functional residual capacity O Residual volume O Inspiratory reserve volume O Tidal volume

The rise of plasma hydrogen ions will cause O Hyperventilation O Has no effect on the respiratory system O Neither hyperventilation or hypoventilation O Both hyperventilation and hypoventilation Hypoventilation

What is the primary regulator of ventilation? Arterial Pco2 Venous Po2 O Arterial Po2 O Venous Pco2

Which of the the following will increase bronchiolar resistance? increased mucous  decreased alveolar elastin increased bronchial branching  increased smooth muscle tone

Explain how respiratory values correspons to anatomical or physiological changes for asthma, emphysema, moderate exercise and heavy exercise

You measure the vital signs for Mr. Yazdani, a client you are caring for. His oxygen saturation is 87% on room air. Mr. Yazdani does not appear to be in any distress and denies having any pain or shortness of breath. You see in his previously charted vitals that the saturation was 86%. You have two other clients who require your attention, including one who has been waiting for a shower. What will you do next?

Due to polio, a patient suffers total paralysis of his muscles. For this patient, which of the following values would still be expected to be essentially normal?  a. Inspiratory reserve volume b. expiratory reserve volumec. vital capacityd. none of the abovee. total lung capacity

The inhalation and exhalation are two characteristics of respiratory function. Please explain the concept of ventilation versus respiration, and explain the characteristics of inspiration and expiration in terms of involved organs and the forces triggering them.
