The nurse is reviewing the pulmonary function test of a patient. Which result would the nurse expect to find in a patient with normal lung function?
A) Tidal volume 500 mL
B) Inspiratory reserve volume 1,500 mL
C) Inspiratory capacity 2,000 mL
D) Expiratory reserve volume 500 mL
A) Tidal volume 500 mL
Explanation: A) Tidal volume (TV), the volume of air inhaled and exhaled during one cycle of normal quiet breathing, is typically 500 mL. The typical inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), the maximal volume of air that can be inhaled after TV inhalation, is 3,000 mL. A normal value for inspiratory capacity (IC), the maximal volume of air that can be inhaled after a normal exhalation (TV + IRV = IC), is 3,500 mL. Expiratory reserve volume is the maximal volume of air that can be exhaled following TV exhalation and is typically 1,200 mL.
B) Tidal volume (TV), the volume of air inhaled and exhaled during one cycle of normal quiet breathing, is typically 500 mL. The typical inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), the maximal volume of air that can be inhaled after TV inhalation, is 3,000 mL. A normal value for inspiratory capacity (IC), the maximal volume of air that can be inhaled after a normal exhalation (TV + IRV = IC), is 3,500 mL. Expiratory reserve volume is the maximal volume of air that can be exhaled following TV exhalation and is typically 1,200 mL.
