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 pressure
1. What is the disorder of this 17-year-old student? Why?
2. Is this primarily a restrictive or an obstructive disorder? Why?
3. Write the formula for determining residual volume (RV).
4. Determine the residual volume (RV) before and after the use of the bronchodilator. a. RV before using the bronchodilator: b. RV after using the bronchodilator:
5. Why is expiration more difficult than inspiration in this person?
6. What does the change in pulmonary function after the bronchodilator therapy indicate?
7. Why does the bronchodilator exaggerate the tachycardia?
8. What causes the hypoxemia and the hypocapnia in this person?
9. A beta 2-adrenergic agent was prescribed for further use because it has less cardiostimulatory (beta1) effect. Based on your knowledge of beta1 and beta2 receptors, why is this a good suggestion?
10. An anticholinergic agent was also suggested as a possible nebulizer agent. How might this help the breathing problem?

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?arrow_forward
- A nurse is caring for a client who presented to the emergency department with an acute asthma exacerbation. The respiratory rate is 36 breaths/min, and a pulse oximeter is 85% on room air with accessory muscle use to breathe. The nurse placed the client on oxygen 4 liters nasal cannula. The arterial blood gas (ABG) is as follows: pH: 7.28, PaCO2: 50 mm Hg, PaO2: 75 mm Hg, and HCO3: 26 mEq/L. Which of the following treatments is the nurse's highest priority?

You enter his room, identify yourself, and explain everything to him. You also perform a complete assessment. After applying BiPAP, you note a drop in blood pressure and oxygen saturation.
