Answer: a) Absence of adventitious breath sounds

Explanation: Pulmonary edema is the  health condition that happens due to extra lung fluid which lead to issue in breathing. The patient has pulmonary edema which has connection with heart failure. Effective treatment will be indicated by elimination of the abnormal breath sounds over the lungs of the patient.

So, the client can breathe normally .Other options are incorrect because non-productive cough is dry cough which not a good sign of treatment, respiratory rate should be normal and not less as it indicates abnormality .SaO2 86% air in the room is not relevant with the situation.Thus, the correct option is option(a)

A co-worker cut his wrist on a bandsaw and is bleeding severely. Blood is spurting from an arterial bleed. Direct pressure is no
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

- First, place some gauze pads or a clean cloth on the wound and hold for 10 minutes.

- If the gauze or cloth becomes soaked with blood, without removing it, place another on top and continue pressing for another 10 minutes.

- If the blood does not stop flowing, place the wound raised upwards to avoid excessive bleeding.

While you call an Emergency Ambulance.  

Explanation:

Bleeding usually occurs from a cut or trauma that causes the blood vessels to break.

An arterial hemorrhage occurs when the outflow of blood comes from the circulatory system to the outside caused by the rupture of an artery.

Until the artery closes or the wound is cauterized, blood is likely to continue to flow until the person shows symptoms of confusion, slow heart rate, and shock that ultimately leaves the person to bleed to death.

The process of sorting patients to determine medical need and the priority of care _______________________
nordsb [41]

Triage is the process of sorting patients to establish treatment and transportation priorities according to severity of injury and medical need.

What is traige?

Triage always follows the modern interpretation of the Hippocratic oath, but otherwise there is plenty of leeway in interpretation, leading to more than one simultaneous idea of its nature.

The best settled theories and practical scoring systems used in here come from the area of acute physical trauma in an emergency room setting; a broken bone obviously counts for less than uncontrolled arterial bleeding, apt to lead to death.

But no current principle carries too well over to mental health, reproductive health (such as abortion), chronic medical conditions, geriatrics, or palliative care (including euthanasia).

This is because triage needs to balance multiple and sometimes contradictory objectives simultaneously, most of them being fundamental to personhood: likelihood of death, efficacy of treatment, patients' remaining lifespan, ethics and religion of them all.
