A client newly diagnosed with cancer is scheduled to begin chemotherapy treatment and the nurse is providing anticipatory guidance about potential adverse effects. when addressing the most common adverse effect, Nausea and vomiting should the nurse describe.
<h3>What about Nausea and vomiting?</h3>
- Antiemetics and other over-the-counter (OTC) drugs can sometimes be used to treat nausea, vomiting, and upset stomach.
- Pepto-Bismol and Kaopectate, both OTC antiemetic drugs, contain bismuth subsalicylate.
- Although nausea is not a disease in and of itself, it can be a sign of a variety of digestive system conditions, such as: gastroesophageal reflux disease stomach ulcer illness.
- Stomach-related nerve or muscle issues that slow digestion or stomach emptying.
- Adults' nausea and vomiting often last one or two days and are not a symptom of anything dangerous.
- Vomiting is the body's method of removing dangerous items from the stomach, yet it can also be a reaction to something that has irritated the digestive tract.
- Vomiting and nausea are frequently brought on by long-term or chronic stomach conditions.
- Other symptoms like diarrhea, constipation, and stomach pain may accompany these conditions.
- Food intolerances, such as celiac disease, dairy protein intolerance, and lactose intolerance, are among these chronic illnesses.

Answer:
The known risk factors for hip fractures are low bone mineral density (BMD) and change in the hip geometry. The risk of hip fracture increases by 2.6 times with every decrease of one standard deviation in the BMD of femoral neck [6].

Answer:
Arterial blood gas (ABG) results from a 68-year-old woman with difficulty breathing show:
- Oxygenation (PaO₂): hypoxemia
- pH: acidosis
- PaCO₂: Hypercapnia
- HCO₃⁻: normal
whose interpretation is: <u>respiratory acidosis</u>.
Hypercapnia can produce symptoms such as confusion, drowsiness or lethargy, headache, nausea and vomiting and, in severe states, can cause severe unconsciousness and coma.
Explanation:
Respiratory acidosis is due to a failure in the breathing process that produces <u>hypoventilation</u>, decreasing the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂) —hypoxemia— and increasing the partial pressure of CO₂ (PaCO₂), called hypercapnia.
- <u><em>Acidosis</em></u><em> is the result of the accumulation of CO₂ in the body, which is reflected as a decrease in </em><em>pH</em><em> below 7.35, with no change in bicarbonate content.</em>
- <u><em>Hypoxemia</em></u><em> is the decrease of PaO₂ below 60 mmHg.</em>
- <u><em>Hypercapnia</em></u><em> is the increase of PaCO₂ in ABG above 45 mmHg.</em>
- <em>Normal </em><em>bicarbonate</em><em> </em><em>(HCO₃⁻) </em><em>values range from 22 to 28 mEq/L in ABG. This compound can be altered in metabolic acidosis.</em>
<u>Hypercapnia mainly affects the nervous system</u>, producing symptoms that alter the state of consciousness of the affected, also producing headache and even nausea and vomiting.
