The nurse is explaining  the ventilator settings of a patient with ARDS to a nursing student. Which statement by the nurse best explains  the purpose of a high positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP)? 1. PEEP will prevent lung damage while patient is on ventilator. 2  PEEP will push more air into the lungs during inhalation 3. PEEP allows the breathing machine to deliver 100% oxygen to the lungs. 4. PEEP prevents the alveoli from collapsing during exhalation

You assigned to 4 clients. which client should you assess first? 1 The client diagnosed respiratory failure who is on 4L oxygen by nasal cannula and reported shortness of breath 2 the client diagnosed with respiratory failure who is on continuous positive airway pressure with settings at 5/10 at 50% FiO2. reported shortness of breath. 3 The client diagnosed with respiratory failure who is on Ventrurimaskwith 50% FiO2. reports shortness of breath. 4 The client diagnosed with respiratory failure who is on synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation with settings of 5/10 at 50% FiO2.Reports shortness of breath.

A client returns from surgery with a nasogastric tube and intermittent gastric suction to provide abdominal decompression. Which of the following are correct nursing activities for managing the equipment and drainage? Select all that apply. a. When irrigating the nasogastric tube, use sterile water b. Document the consistency and amount of drainage c. Wear sterile gloves when irrigating the nasogastric tube d. Wear nonsterile gloves when emptying the drainage container e. Apply water-soluble lubricant if the client’s lips are dry

A nurse comes to reassess a patient after administering oxycodone. The nurse is concerned that the patient's respiratory rate is abnormal. Which respiratory rate would the nurse be most concerned with? O O 20 8 15 13

4. Mr. Kee is intubated with a 7.5 mm orotracheal tube. He is in the ICU on a ventilator. The low-exhaled-volume alarm is sounding and Mr. Kee is phonating. His respiratory rate is 32 breaths/ minute, the heart rate is 122 bpm, and the pulse oximeter is 89 percent. You measure the cuff pressure to be 30 cm H2O, and the pilot tube and valve are intact. What would be your recommendations to remedy this situation?

1 of 1 Index of EHR Exercises The nurse is assigned to four clients. Which client should the nurse assess first? O 1. The client diagnosed with respiratory failure who is on 4L of oxygen by nasal cannula and reports shortness of breath. O 2. The client diagnosed with respiratory failure who is dr continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) with settings of 5/10 at 50% FiO2. The client reports shortness of breath. O 3. The client diagnosed with respiratory failure who is on a Venturi mask with. 50% Fi02. The client reports shortness of breath. O 4. The client diagnosed with respiratory failure who is on synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) with settings of 5/10 at 50% FIO2. The client reports shortness of breath.

98. Which nursing intervention should the RN implement to maintain accurate and effective communication with a patient after a total laryngectomy?Teach the patient and family sign language.Encourage family and staff to speak in a loud voice.Provide the patient an artificial larynx immediately after surgery.Determine alternate method of communication in the preoperative period.99.Which statement made by the patient with osteosarcoma of the left tibia indicates to the RN that additional teaching is needed?“I should stay in bed except for when I need to use the bathroom.”“I can do range of motion exercises to keep my right leg muscles strong.”“I need to avoid putting weight on my left leg when moving around.”“I will drink more water instead of milk.”

Case 4: Following an automobile accident, a 19 year old male is admitted to the hospital. He has sustained multiple burns, severe pulmonary contusions, and has aspirated. He is admitted to the ICU, intubated and placed on a ventilator with initial settings ofA/C 500 x 16 1.0 +10 PEEP. A PAC is inserted and ABG’sare drawn after 30 minutes of mechanical ventilation. CXR reveals correct placement of the ETT andPAC the presence of bilateral infiltrates. The ABG results indicate that the patient is experiencing respiratory alkalosis (elevated pH and decreased PaCO2), severe hypoxemia (low PaO 2 and SaO 2). Part 1: The patient's systemic vascular resistance (SVR) was approximately 1317 dynes/sec/cm^-5 Part 2: The patient's pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) was approximately 420 dynes/sec/cm^-5. Part 3: Patient's arterial-venous oxygen content difference (Ca-Vo 2) is 18.648 mLO2/dL Part 4: The patient's oxygen extraction ratio (O2ER) is approximately 98.03% What is clinically happening to…

Which of the following patients has an RSBI that suggests they are ready to begin weaning from ventilatory support? What supports your decision? Patient 1: Spontaneous VT of 0.4 L; f is 10 breaths/min Patient 2: Spontaneous VT of 0.25 L; f is 30 breaths/min What is the appropriate parameter for RSBI that indicates readiness to wean?
