The function of the respiratory system is closely tied to its structure and organization. choose one component of the respiratory system and discuss how it's structure helps it to carry out it's function following the instructions below:
Choose one disorder that affects the structure you discussed. Make sure to address the cause of the disorder, signs and symptoms the patient is experiencing, how it is eventually diagnosed, and finally treatment.
Extend the discussion further by considering how the different disorders affect other systems in the body, as well as the respiratory tract.
You take the vital signs for a client who does not appear to be in any distress and denies complaints of pain or shortness of breath. His oxygen saturation is 87% on room air. You see in his previously charted vitals that the saturation was 86%. You have two other clients who have requested your attention, including one who has been waiting for a shower.
What will you do next
Pleural membranes surround the lungs. These membranes serve as the glue between the lungs and the thoracic cavity. Which of the following statements is correct about these structures?
The visceral pleura lines the outside of the lungs, the parietal pleura lines the thoracic cavity, and the intrapleural space seals the two layers together
The parietal pleura lines the outside of the lungs, the visceral pleura lines the thoracic cavity, and the intrapleural space seals the two layers together
The thoracic cavity and lungs are only connected by the visceral pleura
The thoracic cavity and lungs are only connected by the parietal pleura
