II.bronchodilator agents
III.emergency oxygen

Accepted Answer

Emergency oxygen and bronchodilator agents should be available in the rehabilitation area to deal with incidents of hypoxemia, dyspnea, or airway hyperreactivity during physical reconditioning activities. Intubation tray may not be required in all cases; therefore, option D is not a better choice. Option A includes intubation tray, which may not be suitable for all situations. Option B (II and III) includes emergency oxygen and bronchodilator agents, which are essential for immediate management of the above-mentioned conditions.

Question 6

Minimum equipment requirements for the physical reconditioning component of a pulmonary rehabilitation program include which of the following? I.inspiratory resistive breathing devices II.rowing machines or upper extremity ergometers III.pulse oximeters (for pulse rate/SaO₂)IV.stationary bicycles

Accepted Answer

I, II, III, and IV are all considered minimum equipment requirements for the physical reconditioning component of a pulmonary rehabilitation program. Inspiratory resistive breathing devices help improve respiratory muscle strength, rowing machines or upper extremity ergometers and stationary bicycles provide aerobic conditioning, and pulse oximeters are essential for monitoring oxygen saturation and pulse rate during exercise.

Question 7

Which of the following health professionals would be best for conducting a pulmonary rehabilitation session on methods of relaxation and stress management?

Accepted Answer

Relaxation and stress management techniques primarily fall under the domain of mental health, making a clinical psychologist the best choice for conducting a session on these methods in pulmonary rehabilitation. Physical therapists mainly focus on improving physical function, respiratory therapists on breathing techniques, and pulmonary physicians on medical management of pulmonary diseases.

Question 8

Which of the following topics should be covered in a rehabilitation education session on respiratory home care?
I.self-administration of therapy
II.care of home equipment (e.g., cleaning)III.safe use of home care equipment

Accepted Answer

All three topics are crucial for successful respiratory home care. Patients need to know how to self-administer therapy, as well as how to properly care for and safely use their home care equipment. Therefore, covering all three topics in a rehabilitation education session would be the most comprehensive and effective approach.

Question 9

Which of the following is NOT a factor affecting the cost of a pulmonary rehabilitation program?

Accepted Answer

Patient health insurance is typically not a factor in determining the cost of a pulmonary rehabilitation program, as it is the responsibility of the patient or their insurance provider to cover the associated healthcare costs. Factors such as space and utility expenses, equipment and supplies, and program promotion costs can all impact the overall cost of the program.

Question 10

Which of the following health professionals would be best for conducting a pulmonary rehabilitation session on recreation and vocational counseling?

Accepted Answer

The occupational therapist would be the best choice for conducting a pulmonary rehabilitation session on recreation and vocational counseling. This is because occupational therapists specialize in helping individuals with physical, mental, or cognitive disabilities to achieve greater independence in their daily lives, including their work and leisure activities. They can assess and improve the patient's ability to engage in various activities, recommend modifications to their work or leisure environment, and provide support and counseling to help them adjust to any limitations they may face. A physical therapist may focus more on physical rehabilitation and conditioning, a respiratory therapist may focus more on breathing exercises and lung function, and a clinical psychologist may focus more on mental health and emotional well-being.

Question 11

What is the ideal class size for pulmonary rehabilitation programs?

Accepted Answer

The ideal class size should range from 3 to 10 participants.

Question 12

Which of the following are legitimate ways to obtain reimbursement from third-party payers for pulmonary rehabilitation programs?
I.charge sessions as physical therapy exercises for COPD patients
II.charge sessions as office visits with therapeutic exercises
III.charge sessions as physician office visits-intermediate

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following are legitimate ways...

Question 13

Which of the following educational topics covered in a typical pulmonary rehabilitation program are most suitable for presentation by a respiratory care practitioner?
I.methods of relaxation and stress management
II.recreation and vocational counseling
III.diaphragmatic and pursed-lip breathing techniques
IV.respiratory structure, function, and disease

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following educational topics covered...

Question 14

Reconditioning the inspiratory muscles of patients undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation is accomplished through which of the following methods?

Accepted Answer

Reconditioning the inspiratory muscles can be achieved through inspiratory resistive breathing exercises, which involve using a device that provides resistance against the patient's inhalation, thus strengthening their inspiratory muscles. Walking, rowing, and pedaling can improve cardiovascular fitness, but they do not specifically target inspiratory muscles.

Question 15

What government programs can serve as a source for reimbursement for pulmonary rehabilitation?
I.prospective payment system (PPS)II.comprehensive outpatient rehabilitative facility (CORF)III.Veterans Administration benefits
IV.Civilian Health and Medical Programs of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS)

Accepted Answer

CORF, Veterans Administration benefits, and CHAMPUS can provide reimbursement for pulmonary rehabilitation services.

Question 16

Which of the following is/are true about the flow-resistor breathing exerciser?
I.Exhaled gas flows unimpeded out a one-way valve.
II.Resistance is created by a variable-size orifice.
III.Imposed load varies with the rate of flow.

Accepted Answer

Option I is true as exhaled gas is allowed to flow out through a one-way valve without any obstruction. Option II is true as the resistance is created by a variable-size orifice that allows the user to adjust the level of resistance for their breathing exercise. Option III is not true as the imposed load remains constant regardless of the rate of flow. Therefore, the correct answer is C: I and II.

Question 17

Which of the following exercises are useful for reconditioning the upper extremities of patients undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation?
I.using a rowing machine
II.using an arm ergometer
III.pedaling a stationary bicycle
IV.using free hand weights

Accepted Answer

Using a rowing machine, arm ergometer, and free hand weights are all effective exercises for reconditioning the upper extremities in pulmonary rehabilitation. Pedaling a stationary bicycle primarily works the lower extremities and is not as useful for upper extremity rehabilitation. Therefore, options I, II, and IV are the best choices.

Question 18

Accepted Answer

The answer of For which of the following procedures pulmonary...

Question 19

During inspiratory resistive exercises, the desired load should be about what percentage of the maximum inspiratory pressure?

Accepted Answer

During inspiratory resistive exercises, the desired load should be set at about 30% of the maximum inspiratory pressure to effectively strengthen the respiratory muscles without causing undue strain on them. Setting the load too low may result in minimal or no improvement, while setting it too high may cause fatigue or even injury.

Question 20

Which of the following outcome measures is considered a major predictor for improvement in a COPD patient's health-related quality of life?

Accepted Answer

Frequent attendance in a maintenance program is considered a major predictor for improvement in a COPD patient's health-related quality of life. This is because maintenance programs provide ongoing support and education on disease management, which can lead to better symptom control and improved quality of life. Repeated admission to a rehabilitation program may suggest the patient has more severe disease or complications, while frequent medical evaluations and antibiotic therapy are important for managing exacerbations but may not be as directly linked to improving quality of life.
