16. Read the following statements that describe what happens as an impulse travels. What is the correct order in which the steps occur?1) The neuron receives a stimulus great enough to start an impulse.2) Na+ gates close and K+ ions flow back out of the cell restoring the resting potential.3) Gated K+ and Na+ channels are closed. The inside of the cell is slightly negative compared to the outside.4) The impulse continues to travel down the axon away from the cell body.5) Gated Na+ channels open. The net movement of Na+ ions into the cell produces the action potential.a. 4,5,3,1,2b. 1,5,3,4,2c. 3,1,5,4,2d. 3,4,5,1,2

The squad transported the victim of an MVI to a trauma center, intubated and unresponsive. The patient is connected to a vent and transferred to ICU. The patient's head and neck injuries could be affecting the respiratory rate and depth, suggesting possible injury to the patient's:

An instructor is describing the respiratory membrane at the alveolar level. Which would the instructor include as a component?CiliaGoblet cellsMast cellsCapillary endothelium
A client is being evaluated for a possible diagnosis of emphysema. What client characteristic should the nurse monitor to provide evidence of the disorder?
Which client requires frequent monitoring for symptomology associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)?
The nurse notes that a client begins coughing after taking a deep breath through an opened mouth. Which physiologic mechanism would the nurse suspect is occurring in the client?
Which would the nurse identify as being involved with asthma?
Respiration is controlled by which areas in the central nervous system?
In the pulmonary unit of your hospital, the nurse has several patients who are seasonal "frequent flyers" due to exacerbation of their COPD. Especially in emphysema, the lungs lose the ability to recoil to expel air. The ability to accommodate incoming air is called:
A nurse is describing the events associated with a common cold to a local community group. Which would the nurse include?
A client is experiencing symptoms of the common cold. Which information would the nurse provide when explaining the reason for the client's symptoms?A. The epithelial lining of the sinus cavities become inflamed, leading to swelling and pain.B. The upper airways respond to a specific pathogen, leading to nasal congestion and watery eyes.C. Inflammation of the pharynx, larynx, and bronchi causes fever, muscle aches, pain, and malaise.D. Pathogens initiate the release of histamine and prostaglandins, causing an inflammatory response and leading to the increased production of mucus.
