Spirométrie de dépistage professionnel FRENCH – Pré-apprentissage Questionnaire

b. The subject should give a minimum of 5 accurate blows before the testing session is finalised

2.5 This is the sum of the residual volume and the expiratory reserve volume:

c. Spirometry can be used as a standalone tool to diagnose respiratory disorders

2.6 Match the label to the description:

1.1   Select true or false for the following statements:

a. Pulmonary function tests are invasive

d.   Spirometry can be conducted on people aged around 10 years and above

2.7   Select true or false for the following statements:

Age-related changes in the lungs include:

a. Increases in peak airflow and gas exchange

d. Spirometry is one type of pulmonary function test. It measures how much and how fast air moves in and out of the lungs.

2.1 The following parts of the anatomy are generally categorised as part of the upper respiratory tract or lower respiratory tract.
Match the part of the anatomy to either the upper or lower respiratory tract by selecting either choice for each of the parts of the anatomy:

a. Nose

d. Information from pulmonary function tests can help the healthcare provider diagnose and decide the treatment of certain lung disorders

1.5 Is it true that the person conducting the test must be the person who interprets the test?

b. Paranasal Sinuses

b. Decreases in measures of lung function such as vital capacity

1.6 Are the results of a forced vital capacity spirometry test dependent on effort?

e. Spirometry is not suitable for subjects that have been sedated, who are confused or who have limitations that would interfere with forceful blowing

c. Weakening of the respiratory muscles

1.7  There are no limitations to spirometry testing?

c.   Trachea

d. Decline in the effectiveness of lung defence mechanisms

1.8 Generally spirometry is a safe procedure but there are times when conducting a spirometry test is not ideal. A time when conducting spirometry may not be safe is when:

d.  Alveoli

2.8 Do age related changes lead to respiratory symptoms in elderly people:

1.9  Is a spirometry test more focused on inspiration or expiration?

c.  Pulmonary function tests measure lung volume, capacity, rates of flow, and gas exchange

1.2    The primary aim of workplace spirometry is to:

1.10   Select true or false for the following statements:

a. Spirometry is recommended in the practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of both asthma and COPD

e. Bronchioles

1.3    Which is the most accurate description below of the 3 distinct phases of the forced vital capacity manoeuvre?

b. Spirometry is required for disability evaluations in occupational respiratory surveillance and physicals

f. Pharynx

1.4   Select true or false for the following statements:

a. The flow / volume and volume / time graphs are the visual images of the FVC manoeuvre

c.   Spirometry cannot identify early changes in lung function

g. Lungs

b.   It is not necessary to look at the graphs in spirometry to assess the quality of each blow. We can assess test quality from the numerical values alone

d. Spirometry cannot show how whether exposure to substances in the home or workplace have harmed the lungs

h. Mouth

c. Looking at the shape of the curves against the predicted values is helpful as a guide when interpreting the test result.

b. Pulmonary function tests show how well the lungs are working

2.2 Choose 5 of the 8 choices below to complete the sentence correctly:

The 5 functions of the respiratory tract are:

1.11   The person interpreting the spirometry result is not always the same as the person who conducted the test therefore it is most important that the technician:

2.3 Choose the correct word: up or down

During normal inhalation does the diaphragm go:

1.12 Select true or false for the following statements:

a.  A spirometry result is not dependent on subject co-operation and effort
