  2. Increased ventilatory rate
  3. Increased tidal volume
  4. Decreased ventilatory rate
  a. 3, 4
  b. 2, 3
  c. 1, 2
  d. 1, 3, 4

Question 2

Postural drainage, percussion, and vibration are part of what TDP?

  b. Bronchopulmonary hygiene therapy protocol
  c. Aerosolized medication therapy protocol
  d. Oxygen therapy protocol

Answer to Question 1

C
Restrictive lung disorders result in an increase in lung rigidity, which in turn decreases lung compliance. When lung compliance decreases, the ventilatory rate increases and the tidal volume decreases.

Answer to Question 2

B
Postural drainage, percussion, and vibration are treatment modalities in the bronchopulmonary hygiene therapy protocol. Increased hydration, cough and deep breathing, incentive spirometry, and suctioning are among other treatment options in this protocol.
