Exam 3: Pulmonary Function Study Assessments

In response to a restrictive lung disorder, the following are typically found: 1) Decreased lung compliance 2) Increased ventilatory rate 3) Decreased tidal volume 4) Decreased lung rigidity

The FEF 25%-75% is used to evaluate:

Which of the following forced vital capacity test times should be interpreted as normal?

Your patient has obstructive lung disease. In response to this, which of the following are typically found? 1) Decreased lung compliance 2) Increased ventilatory rate 3) Increased tidal volume 4) Decreased ventilator rate

Pulmonary function studies are done for all of the following measurements EXCEPT:

Total lung capacity is composed of all of the following EXCEPT:

All of the following are true of the peak expiratory flow rate test EXCEPT:

A special indirect measurement procedure must be done to find the following:

The pulmonary diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide test is used to:

Overall characteristics of pulmonary function testing results on a patient with obstructive lung disease include that:
