Study Notes
Respiratory Assessment Techniques
- The diaphragm of a stethoscope is used to detect high-pitched lung sounds like bronchial breathing.
- The normal respiratory rate for an adult at rest ranges between 12-20 breaths per minute.
- Increased vibrations during tactile fremitus are indicative of lung consolidation.
Oxygen Delivery Systems
- The non-rebreather mask provides the highest oxygen concentration among the listed options.
- The appropriate oxygen flow rate for a nasal cannula is 1-6 liters per minute.
- The Venturi mask is specifically designed to deliver a precise oxygen concentration.
Respiratory Changes in Older Adults
- Decreased chest wall compliance is a common pulmonary change observed in older adults.
- Kyphosis leading to reduced chest expansion is a normal finding in older adults.
- Reduced alveolar surface area contributes to decreased oxygenation in older adults.
- Reduced respiratory muscle strength is an expected physiological change affecting the respiratory system in older adults.
