PART B

1. Movement of muscles and thorax to
   bring air into the lungs


2. Movement of oxygen and carbon diox-
   ide between the air and the blood


3. Incomplete lung expansion or lung
   collapse


4. An inadequate amount of oxygen in the
   cells


5. Movement of air in and out of the lungs


6. Any impediment or obstruction that air
   meets as it moves through the airway


7. Stretchability of the lungs or the ease
   with which the lungs can be inflated


8. Process in which the oxygenated
   capillary blood passes through tissue


9. A decreased rate of air movement into
   the lungs


10. An increased rate and depth of
    ventilation above the body’s normal
    metabolic requirements
    Match the type of oxygen delivery system listed
    in Part A with its description listed in Part B.
    PART A
    a.Nasal cannula
    b.Nasopharyngeal catheter
    c.Simple facemask
    d.Partial rebreather mask
    e.Nonrebreather mask
    f.Venturi mask
    g.Oxygen tent
    h.Transtracheal oxygen delivery
    PART B


11. Connects to oxygen tubing, a humidifier,
    and flow meter and uses a delivery flow
    rate greater than 5 liters/minute; it should
    be comfortably snug over face but not
    tight; it has vents in sides to allow room
    air to leak in at many places, diluting the
    source oxygen


12. Produces the highest concentration of
    oxygen with a mask; contains two one-
    way valves that prevent conservation of
    exhaled air, which escapes through side
    vents


13. A tube is inserted into the throat through
    one nostril and must be changed to the
    other nostril every 12 to 24 hours. Gastric
    distention often occurs.


14. This mask delivers the most precise con-
    centration of oxygen and has a large
    tube with an oxygen inlet. As the tube
    narrows, pressure drops, causing air to
    be sucked in through the side ports.


15. Probably the most commonly used respi-
    ratory aid, this consists of a disposable,
    plastic device with two protruding
    prongs for insertion into the nostrils; it
    is connected to an oxygen source with a
    humidifier and a flow meter.


16. A small catheter is inserted into the
    trachea under local anesthesia and
    the catheter is attached to the oxygen
    source.


17. This mask is equipped with a reservoir
    bag for the collection of the first part
    of the patient’s exhaled air. The air is
    mixed with 100% oxygen for the next
    inhalation.
