- Describe the common respiratory complications for postoperative patients in the clinical unit.- AIRWAY OBSRTUCTION
Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Describe the common respiratory complications for postoperative patients in the clinical unit.- HYPOVENTILATIONDescribe the common respiratory complications for postoperative patients in the clinical unit.- HYPOXEMIAWhich of the following would the nurse expect to see in client experiencing hypoventilation? increased oxygenation in the alveoli increased carbon dioxide in the bloodstream decreased hemoglobin in the bloodstream decreased carbon dioxide in the alveoli
- To evaluate the effectiveness of mechanical ventilation for a patient with respiratory failure, which diagnostic will be most useful to the nurse? 1. A chest x-ray 2. Oxygen saturation 3. Arterial blood gas analysis 4. Central venous pressureA nurse is caring for a client with a congenital heart defect that has developed heart failure. What pulmonary manifestations should the nurse expect?You are assisting the care of a pcardiac arrest patient. Your partner is BVM. You can see there is no chest rise in ventilations. Which of the following should you chose next to improve the situation? A) Attatch oxygen flow to the BVM B) Evaluate the patient for Pnemothorax C) Evaluate the patient for airway obstruction D) Assist partner to maintain a seal on the BVM
- What is the role of the Respiratory Therapist in caring for the Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patient?Case Study: -An 18-year-old man with no significant past medical history presented to the emergencydepartment with a history of cough and shortness of breath with exertion, along withsubjective fevers, chills, and rigors. He was noted to be hypoxic (low oxygen saturation level)on examination. The chest X-ray showed bilateral infiltrates in a diffuse butterfly patterninvolving both central lung fields. The patient reported a history of IV drug use, with frequentsharing of needles.Diagnosis: PCP PneumoniaCase study presentation should include the following:1. Case2. Patient initials (Ex. 50-year-old man)3. History of the present illness (Symptoms and may include the physical exam of the patient)4. Chief Complaints (Ex. Morning stiffness in his joints for over a year)5. Diagnosis and Causative agent6. Pathophysiology7. Treatment and Management8. ReferencesA patient admitted to an acute care facility with pneumonia is receiving supplemental oxygen, 2 L/ minute via nasal prongs. The patient’s history includes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and coronary artery disease (CAD), because of these history findings ,the Nurse closely monitors the oxygen flow and the patient's respiratory status Explain the pathophysiology of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Which complication may arise if the patient receives a high oxygen concentration? List two (2) nursing Interventions with rationales for this patient mark for each nursing intervention 2 marks for each rationale
- The nurse is providing care to a client admitted for acute shortness of breath. Which assessment findings indicate the need for an immediate intervention by the nurse? Is it retractions and fatigue, or shallow respirations at a rate of 24? Which one is more detrimental.The nurse is assessing a newly intubated patient and detects normal breath sounds on the right side of the patient's chest and diminished, distant breath sounds on the left side of the chest. What likely cause for these clinical signs should the nurse suspect?A. inadequate mechanical ventilationB. Intubation in the right mainstream bronchusC. Left hemothoraxD. Right hemothoraxpatient starts to complain that they are finding it difficult to breathe after insertion of nasogastric. They are displaying more effort required for work of breathing (WOB), diaphoresis, cyanosis and some confusion. Explain your nursing management and what assessments you need to perform. (rationale included)
