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

The key function of classical conditioning is to allow an organism to <span>learn new species-typical behaviors.
Classical conditioning refers to when two or more different stimuli are joined in order for an organism to learn something it didn't know before. The more you repeat the conditioning, the faster the organism will learn. For example, Pavlov experimented with dogs - each time they were presented with food, they would also hear a bell. So each time dogs heard the bell, they knew that they would be getting food soon.

They all have the disease. However, carriers are generally consider those who can give the disease, but don’t have it themselves. This would make the answer Lisa and Monica as they have the recessive gene, but only have one allele, meaning they carry the gene for color blindness, but fortunately do not have it due to the dominant allele being normal.
