The second of the seven key basic analysis questions a training designer should be asking in the Analysis phase is 

A client’s chart shows they experienced damage to a cranial nerve.  During therapy, they experience tachycardia and dyspnea.  What nerve was likely damaged?          

Your client’s chart shows they’re experiencing sensory loss secondary to damage to CN V. What occupation may they need to use visual compensation for?  

Which of the following injurious events can be associated with tracheomalacia?

About 30 minutes ago, a 3.5-kg male infant was born prematurely. The footling breech presentation was delivered at term by cesarean section after 24 hours of labor. He is currently in the neonatal intensive care unit receiving blow-by O2. His respiratory rate ranges from about 67 to 83 breaths/min, he has a Silverman-Andersen score of 7, and his fingers and toes have a blue tinge. Periodically, he shows mild retractions. What steps would you take in the respiratory care of this infant?

A 1-month-old prematurely born baby boy with a diagnosis of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) pneumonia is receiving PC-CMV. The patient’s initial measured VT was about 5 mL/kg with a respiratory rate of 40 to 60 breaths/min, the SpO2 was 95% on an FIO2 of 0.3, and  was 0.28 L. Over several hours, VT diminishes to about 2 to 3 mL/kg and the respiratory rate increases to over 100 breaths/min. The SpO2 decreases to about 92%, but the  remains unchanged. What change in ventilator settings is necessary for this patient?

A therapist has been asked to evaluate a child with recurrent pneumonia that is suspected of having foreign body aspiration. Which of the following clinical conditions would guide the therapist to the diagnosis?

You are called to assist with a full-term neonate who was transferred to your facility for further evaluation. The patient is the son of a diabetic mother who tested positive for group B streptococcus infection. He is 4 kg, has received one dose of surfactant, and has extremely low lung volumes on AP chest radiograph. The transport team has the infant on continuous mandatory ventilation (CMV), pressure control rate of 60, peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) of 32, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 8, and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO 2) of 1.0. These ventilator settings are producing a peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SPO 2) of 85%, with admission blood gas values of 7.15/65/66/23. What mode of ventilation would you suggest for this patient and why?

A 3-year-old child has been diagnosed with epiglottitis and was intubated due to severe respiratory distress. After 24 hours of antibiotics, the therapist is considering extubation. What will be an acceptable leak before considering extubation?

Which of the following condition is consistent with recurrent pneumonias and chronic lung disease?
