質問 1：
While performing duplicate blood gas analyses, a pulmonary function technologist notes that the second instrument gives consistently higher values forPaCO2and PaO2. Which of the following is the most probable cause of higher readings from the second instrument?
A. An excessive delay occurred between running the two samples
B. The sample chamber temperature is greater than 37° C
C. The PO2and PCO2electrode membranes have protein build-up
D. The sample chamber has a bacterial contaminate
正解：B
質問 2：

During a linearity check of a flow sensor in a plethysmograph with a 3-liter calibration syringe, a pulmonary function technologist observes the following:
Which of the following should the technologist do?
A. Perform an additional flow check at 10 L/sec.

質問 5：
A pulmonary function technologist is performing an exercise (stress) test on a patient with severe COPD. As the test progresses, the patient shows signs of increasing dyspnea. Measurements of inspiratory capacity decreased from 2.0 L to 1.5 L. Which of the following most likely occurred?
A. disconnected gas sampling line
B. acute decrease in FRC
C. drift in the flow transducer
D. dynamic hyperinflation
正解：B
質問 6：
While performing a quality control test on an open circuit nitrogen system, the volume of a 3-liter syringe is measured as 3.9 L. Which of the following is the most probable explanation?
