The answer of The Vital Signs, Inc., Misty Ox Hi-Fi...

Question 10

The reservoir connection of the Vital Signs, Inc., Gas Injection Nebulizer (GIN) is designed to use:

Accepted Answer

The reservoir connection of the Vital Signs, Inc., Gas Injection Nebulizer (GIN) is designed to use standard 38-mm diameter disposable water containers, making it convenient and easy to obtain replacement water containers. Using only the manufacturer's prefilled sterile water would limit the availability and increase the cost of replacement water containers, while isotonic solutions may not be suitable for all patients or medications. An immersion heater is not relevant to the reservoir connection of the GIN.

Question 11

The Vital Signs, Inc., Gas Injection Nebulizer (GIN) may be used to provide:
I. cool aerosol
II. heated aerosol
III. high flow rates (up to 100 L/min)
IV. high oxygen concentrations

Accepted Answer

The Vital Signs, Inc., Gas Injection Nebulizer (GIN) is versatile and can be used to provide cool aerosol, heated aerosol, high flow rates (up to 100 L/min), and high oxygen concentrations, making all the options correct.

Question 12

The Airlife large-volume nebulizer's reservoir fitting may use:

Accepted Answer

The Airlife large-volume nebulizer's reservoir fitting can use standard 38-mm diameter disposable water containers, which allows for easy and convenient refilling. It is not limited to only the manufacturer's prefilled sterile water and can accommodate other solutions as needed. The Babington principle is not relevant to the nebulizer's operation.

Question 13

You are troubleshooting a large-volume nebulizer, and the aerosol output has stopped. Which of the following should you check?
I. the oxygen flowmeter setting
II. the reservoir for liquid
III. the capillary tube
IV. the tubing for obstructions

Accepted Answer

All four options should be checked when troubleshooting a large-volume nebulizer with stopped aerosol output. The oxygen flowmeter setting needs to be checked to ensure proper oxygen flow to the nebulizer. The reservoir for liquid needs to be checked to make sure that the medicine is not depleted. The capillary tube needs to be checked to ensure it's not blocked or damaged. The tubing should also be checked for any obstructions, kinks or damage, which can impede the flow of the aerosol.

Question 14

You are troubleshooting the Vital Signs, Inc., Gas Injection Nebulizer (GIN). You note that aerosol output is low or absent. You should check:
I. the flowmeter settings
II. the reservoir for liquid
III. the capillary tube
IV. the tubing for obstructions

Accepted Answer

Low or absent aerosol output could be due to a variety of issues, so it's best to check all possible factors. This includes flowmeter settings (I), the reservoir for liquid (II), the capillary tube (III), and the tubing for obstructions (IV). By checking all of these factors, you can effectively troubleshoot the issue and determine the root cause of the problem.

Question 15

When troubleshooting a Vital Signs, Inc., Hi-Fi large-volume nebulizer, you note the oxygen concentration to be too high. You should check:
I. the entrainment setting
II. the oxygen flowmeter setting
III. the tubing for obstructions
IV. the fittings and connections for tightness

Accepted Answer

The entrainment setting and oxygen flowmeter setting directly affect the oxygen concentration. Obstructions in the tubing can also alter the delivered concentration.

Question 16

Large-volume nebulizers typically must be filled every:

Accepted Answer

Large-volume nebulizers typically must be filled every 4-8 hours.

Question 17

Prior to instructing a patient to use a dry powder inhaler (DPI), you should:
I. learn to assemble it
II. practice with a placebo DPI
III. read the package insert on its use
IV. use a holding chamber with the DPI

Accepted Answer

In order to properly instruct a patient on the use of a DPI, it is important to assemble it correctly, practice with a placebo DPI, and read the package insert for information on proper use. While a holding chamber can be used with a DPI, it is not necessary for all DPIs and may not be appropriate for all patients, so it is not a mandatory step. Therefore, the best choice is C, as it includes all of the necessary steps for properly instructing a patient on DPI use.

Question 18

The Vortan HEART nebulizer is intended for administration of:

Accepted Answer

The Vortan HEART nebulizer is a continuous medication nebulizer, meaning that it can deliver medication over a long period of time. It is intended for use in the home care environment, where patients can self-administer their medication.

Question 19

Use of a Turbuhaler dry powder inhaler (DPI) requires:

Accepted Answer

The correct use of a Turbuhaler dry powder inhaler (DPI) involves grasping the mouthpiece, holding it stationary, and rotating the base of the DPI. This releases a dose of medication in powder form that can be inhaled through the mouthpiece. Options B, C, and D describe other types of inhalers, not the Turbuhaler DPI.

Question 20

Large-volume nebulizers are best used for:

Accepted Answer

Large-volume nebulizers are designed for continuous use, as they can run for several hours without needing a refill. They are most commonly used to deliver humidified air to patients with an artificial airway, such as those on mechanical ventilation. They are not typically used for medication delivery or intermittent aerosol therapy.
