Question 1

All of the following characteristics are aims of training the respiratory muscles to improve EXCEPT: a expiratory muscle contraction force.
B) velocity.
C) inspiratory muscle contraction force.
D) compliance.

D

Accepted Answer

Compliance is not a characteristic of the respiratory muscles; it refers to the ability of the lungs and chest wall to expand and recoil during breathing. The aim of training the respiratory muscles is to improve their contraction force and velocity, which can enhance breathing performance.

Question 2

Inspiratory and expiratory training enhances the:&#10;A) respiratory muscle in patients with Parkinson disease.&#10;B) neuromuscular junction in patients with neuromuscular disease (NMD).&#10;C) respiratory muscle performance in patients with chronic heart failure (CAD).&#10;D) respiratory muscle performance in patients with neuromuscular disease (NMD).

Accepted Answer

Inspiratory and expiratory training has been shown to enhance respiratory muscle performance in patients with neuromuscular disease (NMD) by improving respiratory muscle strength, endurance, and coordination. This can result in improved respiratory function and quality of life for these patients.

Question 3

Respiratory muscle weakness is not frequently observed in patients with:&#10;A) asthma.&#10;B) chronic bronchitis.&#10;C) acute respiratory failure.&#10;D) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Accepted Answer

Respiratory muscle weakness is not commonly found in patients with asthma. However, it can occur in other respiratory conditions such as COPD, chronic bronchitis, and acute respiratory failure.

Question 4

Inspiratory or expiratory muscle training is a means of enhancing inspiratory or expiratory muscle function in individuals with:&#10;A) quadriplegia.&#10;B) asthma.&#10;C) chronic bronchitis.&#10;D) acute respiratory failure.

Accepted Answer

Inspiratory or expiratory muscle training is particularly beneficial for individuals with quadriplegia, as they often have weakened respiratory muscles due to paralysis, and this training can help improve their respiratory function.

Question 5

Inspiratory muscle weakness is __________ and underlies ventilatory insufficiency and symptoms in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).&#10;A) rare&#10;B) significant&#10;C) infrequent&#10;D) prominent

Accepted Answer

Inspiratory muscle weakness is a prominent feature of ALS and is a major contributor to ventilatory insufficiency and symptoms in these patients.

Question 6

Inspiratory muscles are mainly involved in:&#10;A) repetitive contractions with high-intensity training strategies.&#10;B) repetitive contractions with low-intensity training strategies.&#10;C) repetitive contractions with high intensity and endurance.&#10;D) repetitive contractions with low intensity and endurance.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Inspiratory muscles are mainly involved in:&#10;A) repetitive...

Question 7

People with Parkinson disease can exhibit:&#10;A) musculoskeletal weakness.&#10;B) chronic lung dysfunction.&#10;C) respiratory muscle weakness.&#10;D) chronic respiratory dysfunction.

Accepted Answer

Respiratory muscle weakness is a common symptom in people with Parkinson's disease, which can lead to difficulty with breathing and other respiratory-related issues. However, musculoskeletal weakness may also occur in some cases, but it is not directly related to respiratory function. Chronic lung dysfunction and chronic respiratory dysfunction are not typically associated with Parkinson's disease.

Question 8

Diaphragm fatigue can occur during:&#10;A) intermittent low-intensity exercise.&#10;B) intermittent high-intensity exercise.&#10;C) sustained high-intensity exercise.&#10;D) sustained low-intensity exercise.

Accepted Answer

Diaphragm fatigue is most likely to occur during sustained high-intensity exercise when the diaphragm is under significant and continuous strain. The other options may cause other types of muscle fatigue but are less likely to result in diaphragm fatigue specifically.

Question 9

Respiratory muscle weakness associated with other factors plays a role in increasing the risk of _____________ failure and respiratory complications.&#10;A) cardiac&#10;B) ventilatory&#10;C) pulmonary&#10;D) renal

Accepted Answer

Respiratory muscle weakness can lead to inadequate ventilation and respiratory failure, increasing the risk of respiratory complications. It does not directly affect cardiac, pulmonary, or renal failure. Therefore, option B (ventilatory) is the best choice.

Question 10

Respiratory muscle weakness increase:&#10;A) the movement of the diaphragm.&#10;B) alveolar inflation.&#10;C) the relative load for breathing.&#10;D) collateral circulation.

Accepted Answer

Respiratory muscle weakness increases the relative load for breathing, as the weakened muscles have to work harder to move air in and out of the lungs. This can lead to respiratory failure if the weakness is severe enough. A, B, and D are not accurate statements regarding respiratory muscle weakness.

Question 11

The capacity of the respiratory muscle pump is vital for the movement of air to the level of gas exchange in the respiratory system.Failure could result in all but which of the following?&#10;A) Gas exchange&#10;B) Ventilation&#10;C) Tissue repair&#10;D) Diaphragmatic movement

Accepted Answer

The answer of The capacity of the respiratory muscle pump...

Question 12

To prevent chest wall and lung recoil pressures from contributing to the pressure generated by the inspiratory muscles,measurements are recorded for:&#10;A) residual capacity (RC).&#10;B) total lung capacity (TLC).&#10;C) inspiratory reserve (IR).&#10;D) functional residual capacity (FRC).

Accepted Answer

The answer of To prevent chest wall and lung recoil...

Question 13

About 75% to 80% of patients who are mechanically ventilated can be:&#10;A) expected to have respiratory muscle dysfunction.&#10;B) weaned to breath spontaneously without difficulty.&#10;C) expected to have poorer prognoses.&#10;D) weaned to breath spontaneously but with much difficulty.

Accepted Answer

The answer of About 75% to 80% of patients who...

Question 14

Abnormal respiratory muscle function plays an important role in people with chronic heart failure (CHF)in:&#10;A) extended exercise sessions.&#10;B) extended periods of rest.&#10;C) premature exercise termination.&#10;D) exertional dyspnea.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Abnormal respiratory muscle function plays an important...

Question 15

Respiratory muscle weakness is often observed in patients with:&#10;A) asthma.&#10;B) chronic bronchitis.&#10;C) acute respiratory failure.&#10;D) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
