Textbook Question
Chapter 23, Problem 2CAL
Use the following to answer questions 2–4.
Michelle, age 45, has been smoking for over 30 years. She now is beginning to have trouble breathing. Her physician sent her to have her respiratory function tested. The results showed that she has emphysema, which is characterized by a decreased surface area for alveolar gas exchange.
2. What component of the respiratory system is most affected in emphysema, causing her to struggle with breathing?
- a. Nasal passageways are inflamed, and less air can move into and out of the respiratory tract.
- b. Bronchi are inflamed.
- c. Bronchioles are dilated.
- d. Damage to the alveoli has occurred.

Julienne , a 25 y/o bank teller was rushed to the hospital due to ruptured appendix and has undergone appendectomy. Upon her stay in the hospital, she suffered one of the postoperative complication known as Atelectasis, which refers to the closure of the collapse of the alveoli.
a. List 3 possible causes of atelectasis in the postoperative patient. (3 pts)
b. Name 3 manifestations of atelectasis (3pts)
c. Identify 3 nursing measures that can prevent atelectasis (3pts)
Match the lung disease with its correct description
+ Pulmonary Edema
A. Alveoli become thickened and fuse together, impairing gas
exchange
+ Emphysema
B. Fluid accumulates in the space between the alveoli and alveolar
capillaries, impairing exchange
C. Exposure to irritants over time causes thickening of the alveolar
+ Asthma
+ Fibrotic lung disease
membrane
D. Inflammation causes bronchioles to constrict, impairing ventilation
Which of the following is true regarding respiratory distress syndrome?
A. The work of breathing of the infant is reduced
B. Type I alveolar cells are not properly synthesizing surfactant
C. Sensation of oxygen and carbon dioxide by the chemoreceptors is inadequate
D. Surface tension within alveoli is too high so the alveoli collapse
E. The alveoli are not big enough yet to allow the infant to properly breathe
