Shock Step 10 Final Self Learning Tests (1 hour): Must obtain 80% to complete module. Acute Respiratory Failure The use of ultrasound for assessment of the pleural space and lung allows for rapid bedside diagnosis of which of the following condition*A. Pleural effusionB. Atelectasis and consolidationC. PneumothoraxD. Pulmonary edema and interstitial syndromesE. All of the aboveThe best initial step in image orientation when performing a thoracic ultrasound is:*A. Assess for free fluidB. Determine the A-a gradient from the ABGC. Turn the depth to a shallow settingD. Identify the diaphragmWhat depth should be set to first evaluate the pleural space?*A. A high depth to see the posterior chest wallB. A moderate depth to see the pleural line and part of the effusionC. Minimal settings to eliminate the posterior wall and visualize the pleural lineWhen imaging the thoracic space, orientation of the probe’s index mark should be:*A. Towards the patient’s headB. Towards the patient’s torsoC. Towards the patient’s backD. Towards the patient’s feetThe pleural line:*A. Corresponds to the wings on the bat signB. Is found 0.5 cm under the rib cage lineC. Is a bright line approximately 0.5 cm in thicknessD. Is found 0.5 cm above the rib cage line
