QUESTION Backward effects of left-sided heart failure include:
CORRECT ANSWER A) Pulmonary congestion
YOUR ANSWER A) Pulmonary congestion
Deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle flows through the right and left pulmonary arteries to the right and left lung. After entering the lungs, the branches subdivide, finally emerging as

RATIONALE

capillaries which surround the alveoli and release the carbon dioxide in exchange for oxygen.
The capillaries unite gradually and assume the characteristics of veins. These veins join to form the pulmonary veins, which return the oxygenated blood to the left atrium. Backflow of blood through the left atrium result in left-sided heart failure.

Oxygen saturation is likely to be lowest when an asthmatic with a diagnosis of pneumonia is positioned: CORRECT ANSWER C) Lying on the right side
YOUR ANSWER C) Lying on the right side
Ventilation and perfusion distribute to the dependent lung fields. In a patient with pneumonia in

RATIONALE

the right lung, positioning with the right lung down would send more blood flow to the consolidated, nonventilated areas of the lung and produce a worse V/Q mismatch, which would decrease oxygen diffusion into the blood and produce a lower arterial oxygen saturation.

    Blood enters the heart through the Superior Vena Cava which is the large vein at the top of the heart, and the Inferior Vena Cava, which is the large vein at the bottom of the heart. Blood flows into the right atrium, passes through the tricuspid valve, and makes its way into the right ventricle. It then moves through the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery to the lungs.” After picking up oxygen in the lungs, the blood moves out of the lungs into the pulmonary vein, into the left atrium, through the mitral valve, and into the left ventricle that pushes blood to the body through the aortic valve. Once blood leaves the heart it is in the aorta where it flows to various parts of the body” (Whitlock, J. 2017).…

    As you can see the left lung is smaller than the right so that there is room for the heart. “The apex of the lungs reach as high as your first rib, which is located approximately behind the collarbone (clavicle). The base of the lung reaches as low as the lowest rib” (M.D, 2002-2014). As you see the space between the right and left lung; we direct our attention to an area known as the mediastinum. The mediastinum carries many important organs, including the heart. “The three lobes of the right lung are named upper, middle, and lower. The upper lobe and the middle lobe are separated by a gap known as the transverse fissure. The middle lobe and the lower lobe are separated by a space known as the oblique fissure” (M.D, 2002-2014). The left lung are also separated between the left and right and is then separated by the oblique…

    The pathophysiology of pneumonia is broken down in four stages cough, red hepatization, gray hepatization, and resolution. The first stage is congestion. This happens once the organism reaches the alveoli, which results in fluid entering the alveoli. Inside the alveoli there is fluid called serous. Once the organism reaches the serous fluid it multiplies and spreads to the adjacent alveoli (Lewis, Dirksen, Heitkemper, Bucher, Camera, 2011). Serous fluid acts as a lubricant and reduces friction from muscle movement (2011. Pneumonia). When the organism interrupts the serous fluid it then interferes with gas exchange. The second stage is referred to as red hepatization. The lungs turn red and granular, which is caused by massive dilation of the capillaries. At this stage the alveoli are filled with organisms, neutrophils, red blood cells, and fibrin. The third stage of pathophysiology of pneumonia is gray hepatization. In this process the blood decreases and red blood cells start breaking down. Then the fibrin and leukocytes surround the affected lungs. The final stage is called the resolution. The fluid breaks down and is processed by macrophages. Macrophages have antigen receptors on their surface that can identify foreign antigens and can activate immune response. During the healing process normal lung tissue comes back and the patient’s gas exchange with…

    Oxygen, or air, enters the body through inspiration. Inspiration takes place through the contraction of the diaphragm and the internal and external intercostal muscles. The intercostal muscles originate at ribs 1-11 and insert at ribs 2-12. The intercostal muscles originate on the inner surface and inferior border from the tubercles of the rib posteriorly to the costocartilage anteriorly. The intercostal muscles are inserted at the rib immediately below the level of proximal attachment on its superior surface. The external intercostal muscles are found between the ribs. They originate at the lower border of the ribs and insert at the upper border of the ribs below. Ventrally they are bordered by the external thoracic fascia (Culbertson & Christensen, n.d.). In order to take a breath, the external intercostal muscles contract. This moves the ribcage up and out. The diaphragm moves down simultaneously as the ribcage moves up and out. This creates negative pressure in the thorax. The lungs are held in the thoracic wall by the pleural membranes. The pleural membranes expand outwards as the ribcage and diaphragm move. This creates negative pressure within the lungs, because of this, air rushes in through the upper and lower airways. (Culbertson & Christensen,…
