The priority nursing intervention for this client is FOR THE NURSE TO TAKE CARE OF THE IMPAIRED GAS EXCHANGE.
Dyspnea is a medical condition in which the affected individuals have difficulty in breathing properly, that is, such individuals usually experience shortness of breath. Shortness of breath is one of the symptoms that are associated with heart failure. In the scenario given above, the first thing for the nurse to do is to ensure that the patient is breathing normally again, before setting out to take care of other things.

Answer:

Increase paCO₂ to reduce the HCO₃ - levels and increase the pH.

Explanation:

Normal levels:

pH: 7,40±5

pa O₂: 88 - 100 mm Hg

pa CO₂: 40±4 mm Hg

HCO₃-: 24±2 mm Hg

Applying the Henderson equation  pH= HCO₃/ pCO₂ the nurse can help the client.

The client's Ph is a little lower he or she  has respiratory acidosis. In order to return the client to normal levels the nurse has to increase the paCO₂

Vika [28.1K]

Answer: Organism in this domain can be defined as living things that has an organized structure, and responds to stimuli, and has ability to reproduce, grow, and maintain a state of equilibrium. Organisms are of two types which are unicellular and multi cellular organisms.

Explanation: unicellular organisms are organisms that are made up of only one cell which carries out all the functions needed by the oragnism. Multicellular organisms are organisms that are made up of more than one cell. These organisms uses many different cells to function.

Unicellular organisms are often found in extreme environments such as hot springs, polar ice and frozen tundra.

Unicellular organisms have cell that contain a nucleus.

Which of the following factors does not affect membrane permeability? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following factors does
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The polarity of membrane phospholipids

Explanation:

The inner core of membranes is made of nonpolar tails of phospholipids which in turn makes the membranes impermeable for polar, large and charged substances since these substances cannot cross the non-polar inner core. The saturated hydrocarbon tails pack tightly and make membrane less permeable while cholesterol affects the membrane permeability by interacting with non-polar tails.

Higher temperatures make the membrane more fluid and more permeable while at lower temperatures, membranes are more rigid due to tight packing of hydrocarbon tails and less permeable. The polar heads of phospholipids make the inner and outer surface of the membrane. Therefore, the polarity of phospholipids does not affect the membrane permeability.
