A patient who was brought in from the emergency room last evening after suffering a head injury is currently throwing up and disoriented.
<h3>What is a health care provider (
HCP )?</h3>
A client who has experienced head trauma should be reported right away to the HCP and further assessed.
A dime-sized area is not immediately important, but the nurse should mark a circle around the amount of drainage on a dressing after surgery.
Therefore, it may be watched and reported to the HCP if it rises in size, after surgery, stomach pain and constipation need care but are not a top concern.

Answer:
Arterial blood gas (ABG) results from a 68-year-old woman with difficulty breathing show:
- Oxygenation (PaO₂): hypoxemia
- pH: acidosis
- PaCO₂: Hypercapnia
- HCO₃⁻: normal
whose interpretation is: <u>respiratory acidosis</u>.
Hypercapnia can produce symptoms such as confusion, drowsiness or lethargy, headache, nausea and vomiting and, in severe states, can cause severe unconsciousness and coma.
Explanation:
Respiratory acidosis is due to a failure in the breathing process that produces <u>hypoventilation</u>, decreasing the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂) —hypoxemia— and increasing the partial pressure of CO₂ (PaCO₂), called hypercapnia.
- <u><em>Acidosis</em></u><em> is the result of the accumulation of CO₂ in the body, which is reflected as a decrease in </em><em>pH</em><em> below 7.35, with no change in bicarbonate content.</em>
- <u><em>Hypoxemia</em></u><em> is the decrease of PaO₂ below 60 mmHg.</em>
- <u><em>Hypercapnia</em></u><em> is the increase of PaCO₂ in ABG above 45 mmHg.</em>
- <em>Normal </em><em>bicarbonate</em><em> </em><em>(HCO₃⁻) </em><em>values range from 22 to 28 mEq/L in ABG. This compound can be altered in metabolic acidosis.</em>
<u>Hypercapnia mainly affects the nervous system</u>, producing symptoms that alter the state of consciousness of the affected, also producing headache and even nausea and vomiting.

An artificial heart is made from machine. Artificial heart is also known as a mechanical circulatory support, its function depends on what chambers of the heart it replaces. Artificial heart needs battery for it to work.
A normal heart is made up of muscle tissue, specifically the cardiac muscles. A normal heart only needs the cells of the body that produces energy.
