A COPD patient is being discharge to go home. The physician asked the respiratory therapist for an appropriate home medication regime for the patient. The practitioner should recommend: Group of answer choices Umeclinidium/Vilanterol (Anoro ellipta) Qday and albuterol PRN Budesonide/Formoterol (Symbicort) BID Fluticasone/Salmeterol (Advair) BID & Ipratropium bromide (Atrovent) PRN Fluticasome/Vilanterol (Breo ellipta) BID and Levalbuterol PRN

A patient is having an acute onset of myocardial infarction. What medication should be given at this time?

Classify volume control ventilation:

A patient is currently receiving oxygen therapy via NRB at 15 lpm. What is the patient’s PaO2/FIO2 ratio with the following ABG?   pH = 7.25PaCO2 = 65PaO2 = 100 mmHgHCO3 = 26 mEq/L

Detrimental effects of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) include which of the following? I. Increased incidence of barotraumaII. Decreased venous return or cardiac outputIII. Decreased pulmonary vascular resistanceIV. Increased ICP

An EKG was obtained: Identify this arrhythmia?

The triggering aspect of mechanical ventilation:

A asthmatic patient was placed on CMV secondary to status asthmaticus. Current settings are as follows: Mode – AC PIP – 45 cm H2O Rate – 12 breaths/min Plateau – 25 cm H2O VT – 450 ml PEEP – 5 cm H2O FIO2 – 0.40 PIF – 45 L/min What is the patient’s airway resistance (RAW)?

Which of the following factors would tend to increase mean airway pressure? I. Increased peak flowII. Increased inspiratory timeIII. Increasing tidal volumeIV. Increasing PEEP

A patient with ARDS is not responding to increase in FIO2. What other treatments can be recommended by the respiratory care practitioner? I. Increasing the pressure limitII. Increasing the I:timeIII. Increasing PEEPIV. Proning
