NBRC RRT Flashcards

Hii sir, I wants to get the Sample Question of the Respiratory Care Clinical Simulation Examination of the NBRC ?

[shikha]

As you Asking for the Sample Question of the Respiratory Care Clinical Simulation Examination of the NBRC the Sample Questions Are As Follow


(A-a)DO2 gradient can be widened by:
a. increasing the FiO2
b. reducing capillary shunt
c. Improving ventilation to perfusion matching
d. Increasing the Hemoglobin

a. increasing the FiO2
Yes. A natually occurring and expected phenomena

When auscultating an awake, spontaneously breathing patient it is important to:
a. ideally auscultate from the apices down
b. compare equal positions bilaterally
c. listen only to the inspiratory phase of breathing
d. A and B
b. compare equal positions bilaterally
Yes. Always... everyone hear's something a little different. It is essential to compare sides yourself

Cor pulmonale will clinically manifest with:
a. hepatomegaly
b. JVD
c. pulmonary edema
d. A and B
e. A,B and C
d. A and B
Yes. Both may manifest in the presence of RV failure (cor pulmonale is just a specific form of RV failure primarily due to pulmonary hypertension)

The hallmark(s) of a barrel chest include:
a. widened AP diameter
b. steep oblique rib angle
c. spine with abnormal AP curvature
d. A and B
a. widened AP diameter
Yes. AP diameter is typicaly widened.

Drugs that can be instilled down an endotracheal tube include:
a. Morphine
b. Versed
c. Narcan
d. Adenosine
e. All of the above
c. Narcan
Yes. Narcan is the N in NAVEL

The oxygen hemoglobin dissociation curve is shifted to the right when:
a. pH increases
b. pO2 decreases
c. pCO2 increases
d. Temperature decreases
c. pCO2 increases
Yes. this would cause a shift to the right

Paradoxical breathing:
a. is a sign of severe respiratory fatigue
b. manifests with the abdomen protruding on inspiration
c. always occurs with asthmatic attacks
d. A and B
a. is a sign of severe respiratory fatigue
Yes. The diaphragm is done. Very fatigued and not functioning correctly.

_________ is expected to decrease in the PFT results of a severe COPD patient.
a. FEV1
b. FEV1/FVC
c. FRC
d. A and B
e. A,B and C.
a. FEV1
b. FEV1/FVC
d. A and B
Yes. Both parameters should be abnormally low.


_________ is expected to decrease in the PFT results of a patient with severe pulmonary fibrosis:
a. FEV1
b. FVC.
c. FRC.
d. A and B.
e. A, B and C

a. FEV1
b. FVC.
c. FRC.
e. A, B and C
Yes. This is it. All values presented above should be very low.

What occurs at a lung volume equivalent to the functional residual capacity (FRC)? I. The forces of the chest wall and lungs are in balance. II. Chest wall expansion is offset by lung contraction. III. Opposing chest wall-lung forces generate negative Ppl.
a. I, II, III
b. I, II
c. I, III
d. II, III
