Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Atelectasis describes the collapse of air sacs. A partial or complete collapse of the lung or a lobe of the lung would be pneumothorax.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

The sleeves should be placed before connecting to the unit to prevent kinking of the tubing. Once the sleeves are in place, the tubing should be connected, the alarms set, and then the unit can be turned on. After the unit begins to cycle, the nurse should document the application of the device.
