Exam 50: Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation

The principal objectives of pulmonary rehabilitation include which of the following? I.control and alleviate the symptoms II.restore functional capabilities as much as possible III.improve quality of life

Which of the following are differences between cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation? I.Cardiac patients are typically younger. II.Most cardiac patients are not able to walk for 1 hour. III.Reimbursement is easier to obtain with cardiac rehabilitation. IV.Breathing exercises are not essential to cardiac patients.

What are the overall goals of rehabilitation? I.reverse the course or progression of the disease process II.minimize the disability's impact on the individual or family III.maximize the functional ability of the individual

What is the ideal class size for pulmonary rehabilitation programs?

All of the following should be monitored during a cardiopulmonary exercise evaluation except:

To increase the likelihood that positive patient results are lasting, what must pulmonary rehabilitation programs provide?

Which of the following patients are good candidates for pulmonary rehabilitation? I.those with malignant neoplasms involving the lungs II.those with severe arthritis or neuromuscular abnormalities III.those with exercise limitations due to severe dyspnea IV.those with moderate to severe obstructive lung disease

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

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)

Which of the following patients would benefit least from pulmonary rehabilitation?

To deal with incidents of hypoxemia, dyspnea, or airway hyperreactivity during physical reconditioning activities, which of the following should be available in the rehabilitation area? I.intubation tray II.bronchodilator agents III.emergency oxygen

Specific patient objectives for a pulmonary rehabilitation program could include all of the following except:

Below what level of the predicted FEV₁/FVC are patients with irreversible airway obstruction considered good candidates for pulmonary rehabilitation?

During exercise, the point at which increased levels of lactic acid production result in an increased VCO₂ and V_E is referred to as what?

Patients with chronic cardiopulmonary disorders all share an inability to do what?

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

What are some relative contraindications for cardiopulmonary exercise testing? I.severe pulmonary hypertension or cor pulmonale II.known electrolyte disturbances (e.g., hypokalemia)III.SaO₂ or SpO₂ less than 85% breathing room air IV.untreated or unstable asthma

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

Knowledge from the clinical sciences is used in pulmonary rehabilitation programming for mainly what purpose? I.quantify the extent of physiological impairment II.establish ways to improve the quality of life III.set expectations for reasonable outcomes

A cardiopulmonary exercise evaluation is conducted on a patient before participation in pulmonary rehabilitation for what purposes? I.to quantify the patient's baseline exercise capacity II.to develop an exercise prescription (including target heart rate)III.to determine how much desaturation occurs with exercise
