extinguishing a house fire is being treated for
smoke inhalation. He develops severe hypoxia
48 hours after the incident, requiring intubation
and mechanical ventilation. Which of the
following conditions has he most likely
developed?
A. Sepsis
B. Pulmonary Tuberculosis
C. Advanced Respiratory Distress Syndrome
D. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
2.Who among these clients is at high risk for
developing ARDS?
A. a 65-year-old patient who reported presence
of blood in his sputum
B. a 79-year-old patient who has been treated
for TB in the past
C. a 72-year-old female with sepsis
D. an uncircumcised client
3. A patient is on mechanical ventilation with
PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure). The
most likely complication to be expected is?
A. hypotension
B. hypertension
C. hyperthermia
4. Nurse Hannah is caring for a client with ARDS.
She knows that the best position for this client
is?
A. High-fowler’s position
B. Modified Trendelenburg position
C. Prone position
D. Tripod position with chin down in chair
5. As the nurse you know that acute respiratory
distress syndrome (ARDS) can be caused by
direct or indirect lung injury. What is a direct
cause of lung injury?
A. Head injury
B. Multiple blood transfusions
C. Refractory Hypotension
D. Near-drowning experience
6. What is ARDS?
A. it is a disease caused by a type of bacteria
called Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
B. it is a disease that is characterized by
uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or
both lungs.
C.it is a respiratory condition marked by spasms
in the bronchi of the lungs, causing difficulty in
breathing
D. is a respiratory condition that develops
because alveolar capillary membrane
permeability has changed leading to fluid
collecting in the alveoli sacs.
7. What is the HALLMARK symptom of ARDS?
A. mental status changes
B. crackles
C. explosive diarrhea
D. refractory hypoxemia 15.) What is hypoxemia??

8. These are little air sacs which are the

(16-20) Give 5 signs and symptoms of ARDS
A. bronchioles
11.
B. larynx
12.
C. alveoli
13.

9 Nurse Hannah is assessing a client who is at
15.
risk for developing ARDS. She should assess for
which earliest sign of ARDS?

A. Increased RR

B. Fever

C. Dry cough

D. Weight loss

10. Which is not a clinical symptom of ARDS??

A. Dyspnea

B. Hypoxemia

C. Cyanosis

D. Inverted nipples

11.)________ What is the normal respiratory

rate?

12.)________ It’s a type of respiratory failure

that occurs when the capillary membrane that
surrounds the alveoli sac becomes damaged,
which causes fluids to leak into the alveoli sac

13.)_________ refers to a bluish cast to the skin

and mucous membranes.

14.)_________ is a mixture of lipids and

proteins which is secreted by the epithelial type
II cells into the alveolar space. Its main function
is to reduce the surface tension at the air/liquid
interface in the lung.
