This Pediatric Pulmonology quiz assesses knowledge in managing asthma, diagnosing cystic fibrosis, and other pediatric respiratory conditions. It is designed for medical students and professionals to enhance understanding of treatment protocols and diagnostic tests in pediatric respiratory care.
Decreased breath sounds over the right lung field
Prominent expiratory sounds caused by bronchospasm and inflammation of small airways
Prominent inspiratory and expiratory sounds caused by mucous deposition in both large and small airways
Prominent inspiratory sounds caused by re-expansion of collapsed of alveolar air spaces
Prominent inspiratory sounds caused by subglottic airway narrowing

Rate this question:
A finding of bronchiectasis is inconsistent with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive condition inherited through gene expression on chromosome number 5
Exacerbation of illness due to serious infection (as in the vignette above) is most often caused by gram positive organisms
Maintenance therapy of cystic fibrosis includes bronchodilators, airway clearance and DNAse
The underlying defect of cystic fibrosis is in sodium and potassium transport channels in the lungs and other organs
