Traditional sensorimotor approaches are based on which of the following?

Advantages of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) include:      1. No risk of esphageal or bronchial intubation only      2. Effectively bypasses esophagus and ventilates equally as well as ETT only, Can be inserted quickly and commonly used in surgery,      3. Effectively bypasses esophagus and ventilates equally as well as ETT only, Can be inserted quickly and commonly used in surgery,           No risk of esophageal or bronchial intubation, Can intubate without removing LMA      4. Can intubate without removing LMA only

You initiate BIPAP on a patient with the following settings: IPAP 10 EPAP 5 FiO2 40%.30 mins later you obtain the following ABG. pH 7.30 PaCO2 50 PaO2 50 HCO3 24 What changes would you make to the patient’s settings?

Upon securing a cuff pressure manometer, you would inflate the cuff to ____ mmHg or ____ cmH20 and reassess the patient.       1.  15 to 20 and 20 to 30       2.  20 to 25 and 25 to 35       3.  25 to 35 and 40 to 45       4.  10 to 15 and 40 to 45

Interpret the following ABG results:    FiO2         0.21    pH            7.36    PaCO2       37 mm Hg    HCO3         22 mEq/L    PaO2          95 mm Hg

Oxygen therapy supply methods in alternative settings include compressed O2 cylinders, Liquid O2 systems and Oxygen concentrators.

To fix a HIGH PaCO2, you would ________________ Pressure, Tidal Volume, or Rate.

Vinegar is the best disinfectant used in the homecare setting.

The most common type of oxygen concentrator is:

Which of the following are acceptable methods of documenting the presence of hypoxemia in patients being considered for home O2 therapy?      1.  Blood gas analysis      2.  Pulse oximetry      3.  Physical examination      4.  Disease such as CHF, COPD
