Question 1
Which pain scale is best for nonverbal patients?
Correct Answer:
FLACC scale
Explanation:
When someone can’t verbalize their pain, you rely on observable behavior and a standardized scoring method to quantify it. The FLACC scale does exactly that by assessing five clear domains: Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability. Each domain is scored from 0 to 2, giving a total score of 0–10. This behavioral approach is especially useful because it doesn’t depend on the patient’s ability to speak or understand numbers, and it translates what you see into a reproducible pain level that can guide treatment. Compared with a Numeric Rating Scale, which asks the patient to rate pain on a numeric line, FLACC doesn’t require self-report. The Wong-Baker FACES scale uses facial expressions, which can be hard to interpret for truly nonverbal patients and may not reflect pain accurately in all situations. PAINAD is designed for people with advanced dementia and is excellent for that population, but FLACC is more broadly applicable to a wider range of nonverbal patients, including infants, children, and adults with communication barriers, making it a versatile bedside tool.
Question 2
High-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCC) therapy uses which mechanism?
Correct Answer:
It uses a chest cuirass to generate biphasic changes in trans-respiratory pressure difference.
Explanation:
High-frequency chest wall oscillation works by delivering rapid, small-amplitude oscillations to the chest wall through a cuirass or inflatable vest. These quick pressure swings create biphasic changes in the transpulmonary (trans-respiratory) pressure difference, driving oscillatory airflow in the airways. That mechanical energy shears mucus from the airway walls and reduces its viscosity, helping secretions mobilize toward larger airways so they can be coughed up or suctioned. It enhances airway clearance, not by reducing mucus production, and it doesn’t rely on suctioning.
Question 3
Which is the standard nebulized dose of albuterol for SABA therapy?
Correct Answer:
2.5 mg
Explanation:
The main idea is that for nebulized SABA therapy, the standard per-dose amount is a fixed, effective amount that provides rapid bronchodilation with a favorable safety profile. This per-dose amount is 2.5 mg delivered by nebulization. Nebulization delivers albuterol as a fine mist, allowing the medication to reach the lower airways quickly—helpful when a patient is having a significant bronchospasm or cannot use an inhaler effectively. In acute settings, clinicians often repeat this 2.5 mg dose every 20 minutes for up to three doses, reassessing after each to decide on further treatment. Smaller fixed doses, like 1.25 mg, are not the standard for most adults and are less commonly used in routine SABA therapy, while larger doses (5 mg or 10 mg) are not routinely given as a single dose due to increased risk of adverse effects such as tachycardia and tremor.
Question 4
HFNC is indicated for which of the following conditions?
Correct Answer:
All of the above
Explanation:
High-flow nasal cannula delivers heated, humidified oxygen at high flow, providing a high and variable fraction of inspired oxygen, plus a little positive airway pressure and dead-space washout. These effects improve oxygenation and reduce the work of breathing, so HFNC can be used in several situations where hypoxemia or breathing effort are the main problems. Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure clearly benefits because the patient often needs more oxygen delivery than standard oxygen can provide. Cardiogenic pulmonary edema often presents with significant hypoxemia, and the added flow and mild PEEP-like effect help recruit flooded alveoli and improve gas exchange. In COPD or asthma, oxygenation support is sometimes needed, and HFNC is well tolerated with humidified gas, can reduce work of breathing, and may be preferred when a mask is uncomfortable or NIV isn’t available. Taken together, HFNC is indicated in all of these scenarios, so the best choice is all of the above.
Question 5
Which temperature range is listed as the normal temperature range?
Correct Answer:
97-99.5 F
Explanation:
Normal body temperature varies from person to person and changes with the time of day and the measurement method. While 98.6°F is a commonly cited average, healthy individuals can have oral temperatures that range roughly from 97°F to about 99.5°F. This wider span captures the natural diurnal fluctuations and individual differences, making 97–99.5°F the best representation of normal. Narrow ranges like 96–98°F or 98–99°F miss readings that can still be normal, and 97–98.5°F would exclude some normal, higher readings.
