While this patient is suffering from emphysema, and one of the symptoms is difficulty breathing, this is only experienced when the patient is exerting himself/herself. The more pressing matter to attend to is the fever.

Fever is increase in the core body temperature, which induces sweating to help cool the body, which leads to rapid fluid loss. Hence, encouraging increased fluid intake is the first priority that the nurse should act upon.

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

Then we have to define respiratory acidosis: 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.
