Place the client in the orthopneic position.

Pulmonary edema

Congestive heart failure frequently results in pulmonary edema. Blood can back up into the veins that carry blood into the lungs when the heart is unable to pump blood effectively.

Fluid is forced into the lungs' air sacs (alveoli) as the pressure in these blood vessels rises. The usual oxygen flow across the lungs is decreased by this fluid. Together, these two elements contribute to breathlessness.

Possible causes of congestive heart failure that results in pulmonary edema include:

  • Heart illness or a heart attack that causes the heart muscle to become weak or stiff (cardiomyopathy)
  • heart valves that leak or are constricted (mitral or aortic valves)
  • sudden, extreme hypertension (hypertension)

shusha [124]

Answer:

He is in the third stage (interpersonal accord) of Kohlberg's stages of moral development.

Explanation:

Kohlberg did some studies on morality and proposed a theory on moral development. He defined three different levels of morality (and each level consists in 2 stages).

These levels are:

  • preconventional,
  • conventional and
  • postconventional

In the preconventional level, the person's morality is externally controlled and therefore acts based on what the punishment will be (1st stage) or based on how good will it be for him/her to act in some way (2nd stage)

The conventional level stages also have to to with external controls but now the person thinks in function of ensure positive relationships and societal order. The third stage here depends on the approval of others. The fourth stage has to do with accepting rules because they preserve the society order  and functioning.

The postconventional level stages are defined in more abstract principles or values. The 5th stage sees the world as a place with different values that must be respected. Finally the 6th stage is based in universal ethical abstract principles.

In this example, Jason doesn't feel comfortable taking a decision without involving the chairman of the board. He is deciding to put aside his own interests for doing things the right way in the eyes of the shareholders, therefore, since he is focused in <u>external factors</u> he is in the <u>conventional level, specifically in the third stage in which decisions depend on the approval of others. </u>
