- What range is the standard Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale?
- 6 to 20
- What does 1 MET (metabolic equivalent) equal in oxygen consumption?
- 3.5 mL of oxygen per kg of body weight per minute
- What is the Karvonen formula used to calculate?
- Target heart rate using heart rate reserve: (HRmax minus HRrest) times intensity percent, plus HRrest
- What is a normal resting adult heart rate range?
- 60 to 100 beats per minute
- Within how many days of an acute myocardial infarction is exercise testing an absolute contraindication?
- Within 2 days
- How do beta blockers affect the heart rate response to exercise?
- They blunt (lower) the expected rise in heart rate during exercise
- What does an S3 heart sound in an older adult typically suggest?
- Heart failure (ventricular volume overload)
- What is orthopnea?
- Shortness of breath that occurs when lying flat
- What is paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea?
- Sudden episodes of severe shortness of breath that wake a person from sleep
- What breathing technique helps prevent airway collapse and reduce air trapping in COPD?
- Pursed lip breathing
- What FEV1/FVC ratio pattern indicates an obstructive lung disease?
- A reduced FEV1/FVC ratio, typically below 70 percent
- What FEV1/FVC ratio pattern indicates a restrictive lung disease?
- A normal or increased FEV1/FVC ratio, with reduced overall lung volumes
- What is a normal pulse oximetry (SpO2) reading?
- 95 to 100 percent
- What is the purpose of postural drainage?
- To use gravity to help move and clear secretions from the lungs
- What is the purpose of incentive spirometry?
- To encourage deep, sustained inspiration and help prevent atelectasis
