When turning a patient with a right-sided hemothorax, 250 ml of dark blood pours into the chest tube container. What is the most
Cloud [144]

The most crucial intervention is the UWSD Unit and tubing when turning a patient who has a right-sided hemothorax and 250 ml of dark blood streams into the chest tube container.

<h3>What should come first in the treatment of a patient with a chest tube?</h3>

Coughing, shifting positions often, and deep breathing encourage fluid drainage and lung expansion. Avoid forceful manipulation of the chest tube, such as stripping or milking, as this can lead to extremely negative pressures inside the tube and helps little to keep it open.

<h3>When a chest tube comes out, what should a nurse do?</h3>

Remain composed throughout an unexpected chest tube removal. Cover the open insertion site as soon as possible with a gloved hand, calling for assistance all the while remaining beside the patient. Request petroleum gauze, dry gauze, and tape to finish the dressing and cover the area.

Recovery from a severe metabolic acidosis is most dependent on which of the following?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Recovery from a severe metabolic acidosis is most dependent on which of the following? would be, D: Arterial pH.

Explanation:

When a person reaches such a severe situation, as having metabolic acidosis, then it means that his body systems are not being able to use the mechanisms to restore the normal acid-base balance within it. Normally, a person needs to have an acid-base balance of 7.35 to 7.45. Drops below or above these numbers will result in acidosis or alkalosis and in severe problems. The way that the body can tell if there is something going on with the pH levels in the blood is through a series of chemoreceptors, especially in the neck, that constantly measures the amount of CO2 molecules in the blood and especially, the pH (acidity or alkalinity) given by the excessive presence, or absence, of acids in the blood. There is another ration that is important for the body, and it is the presence of bicarbonate ions, which will help balance out the amount of H+ ions produced by normal cell function, or increased cell function. In metabolic acidosis, the amount of H+ vs. bicarbonate ions is immense, H+ winning by far over bicarnonate, and a series of steps are taken by the body to restore the 20:1 ratio, and especially return the pH to its normal range. All mechanisms point towards that one measure: pH. Once the level of pH has been reached, we can tell a person is finally coming out of metabolic, or recovering from, metabolic acidosis.

Communication, or the lack of effective communication, is a leading cause for medical errors in hospitals.
loris [4]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When you don't explain clearly, or instruct direction clearly, the doctors might get confused, and not know what to do. When you have an emergency patient, you need to explain EVERY single thing you witnessed and encountered. When you don't explain exactly what happened in the ambulance, or when the guardian tells a lie, the patient is in danger.  You can't be lazy, you have to work hard and be on your toes every time.

A 68-year-old female who was admitted with shortness of breath. On your arrival, the patient appears drowsy and is on 10L of oxy
zloy xaker [14]

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.
