A male client with pneumonia develops respiratory failure and has a partial pressure of arterial oxygen of 55 mm Hg. He’s placed

on mechanical ventilation with a fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) of 0.9. The nursing goal should be to reduce the FIO2 to no greater than:___________

6 0

Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

The nurse must ensure that the FIO2 must not be greater than 0.5. This is because if the FIO2 is even slightly greater than than for as little as 16 to 24 hours, it can get really toxic and then diffusion of gas and surfactant activity will be reduced drastically. In ideal circumstances, the oxygen source is expected to be room air and within a range of FIO2 0.18 - 0.21.

The release of epinephrine and norepinephrine _____ blood pressure and raises blood sugar levels.
vfiekz [6]

The release of epinephrine and norepinephrine will INCREASE blood pressure and raises blood sugar levels.

The hormones epi and norepi are part of our sympathetic nervous system, the one responsible for our "fight or flight" mechanisms. So, once those two hormones are entered into our system, it increases our function, increases our heart rate and blood pressure to make up be able to "fight or flight".

A client with Guillain-Barré syndrome develops respiratory acidosis as a result of reduced alveolar ventilation. Which combinati
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

The normal value range of pH is 7,35-7,45.

If the pH es <u>higher than 7,45</u> we say it is alkalosis and if the pH es <u>lower than 7,35</u> we say it is acidosis. That being said, we can now rule out option B and C.  

Then we have to define <u>respiratory acidosis:</u> it is a decrease of pH because of a high value of PaCO2 (in this case as a result of hypoventilation). The normal range of PaCO2 is 35-45 mmHg.  

So if we take all this in consideration, the only option with a low pH and a high paCO2 is option D.
