A nurse is caring for a female client in the ED who reports SOB and pain in the lung area. She states that she started taking BC pills 3 weeks ago and that she smokes. Her HR is 110/min, RR 40/min, and BP 140/80 mm Hg. Her ABG are pH 7.50, PaCO2 29 mm Hg, PaO2 60 mm Hg, HCO3 20 mEq/L, and SaO2 86%. Which of the following is the priority nursing intervention? Prepare for mechanical ventilation. Administer oxygen via face mask. Prepare to administer a sedative. Assess for indications of pulmonary embolism.
Administer oxygen via face mask. The pH reflects alkalosis, and the low PaCO2 indicates that the lungs are involved, so the client has respiratory alkalosis. The client's oxygen saturation is low, so one priority is to administer oxygen via mask attempting to achieve an oxygen saturation of at least 95%. The greatest risk to this client is hypoxia, thus the priority is to restore oxygenation.
A home health nurse visits a client who has COPD and receives oxygen at 2L/min via nasal cannula. The client reports difficulty breathing. Which of the following actions is the nurse's priority? A. Increase the oxygen flow to 3 L/min. B. Assess the client's respiratory status. C. Call emergency services for the client. D. Have the client cough and expectorate secretions.

Tachycardia The nurse should expect the client who has hypoxia to manifest tachycardia.
A nurse is caring for a client who asks how albuterol helps his breathing. Which of the following responses should the nurse make? A. The medication will stimulate flow of mucus. B. The medication will prevent wheezing. C. The medication will open the airways. D. The medication will reduce inflammation. E. The medication will decrease coughing episodes.
The medication will stimulate flow of mucus is incorrect. Expectorants, such as guaifenesin, stimulate the flow of mucous to produce a productive cough. Asthma is characterized by bronchoconstriction, airway edema, and increased mucus production. Albuterol relaxes the airways, allowing for expectoration of mucus. The medication will prevent wheezing is correct. Albuterol is used to prevent or treat wheezing. The medication will open the airways is correct. Albuterol promotes bronchodilation. The primary purpose is to provide rapid relief of bronchoconstriction, thus opening the airway and improving oxygenation. The medication will reduce inflammation is incorrect. Albuterol does not reduce inflammation. Glucocorticoid medications reduce inflammation. The medication will decrease coughing episodes is correct. Coughing is often an early indicator of bronchospasm. Albuterol provides a rapid response to relax smooth muscle and reduce bronchoconstriction, which will decrease coughing.
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who has a new prescription for home oxygen therapy via a nasal cannula. Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching? SATA A. Verify the oxygen flow rate every other day. B. Check the cannula position on a regular basis. C. Check the tops of the ears for skin breakdown. D. Post "no smoking" signs in a prominent location in the home. E. Apply petroleum ointment to nares if they become dry and irritated.
Verify the oxygen flow rate every other day is incorrect. The rate of oxygen flow should be checked daily. Check the cannula position on a regular basis is correct. The position of the nasal cannula should be verified every 8 hours or more often if needed. Check the tops of the ears for skin breakdown is correct. The tops of the ears, the nares and the nasal mucous membranes should be assessed regularly for skin breakdown. Post "no smoking" signs in a prominent location in the home is correct. The family is instructed to post "no smoking" signs in a prominent location in the home because oxygen increases the risk of fire injuries. Apply petroleum ointment to nares if they become dry and irritated is incorrect. Protecting the nares is important, but the client should use a water-based lubricant or saline nasal spray to reduce dryness and irritation. Oxygen has a high combustion potential, and petroleum products are combustible.
A nurse is caring for a client who just had a flexible bronchoscopy. Which of the following nursing actions is appropriate? A. Withhold food and liquids until the client's gag reflex returns. B. Irrigate the client's throat every 4 hr. C. Have the client refrain from talking for 24 hr. D. Suction the client's oropharynx frequently.
Withhold food and liquids until the client's gag reflex returns. Until the gag reflex returns, and the sedation effects have resolved, the client is at high risk for aspirating food or fluids. Also, oxygen saturation should be checked every 15 min. for 2 hr.

The nurse should document that the client has which of the following respiratory alterations? A. Kussmaul respirations B. Apneustic respirations C. Cheyne-Stokes respirations D. Stridor
C. Cheyne-Stokes respirations Kussmaul respirations Kussmaul respirations are deep, rapid, regular respirations and are commonly seen in clients who are experiencing metabolic acidosis. Apneustic respirations Apneustic respirations are characterized by a prolonged inspiratory phase alternating with expiratory pauses. Cheyne-Stokes respirations Cheyne-Stokes respirations (CSR) are characterized by a rhythmic increase (to the point of hyperventilation) and decrease (to the point of apnea) in the rate and depth of respiration. CSR are common respiratory alterations seen in clients who are unconscious, comatose, or moribund (approaching death). Stridor Stridor is a continuous, high-pitched sound heard on inspiration in clients who have partial airway obstruction of the larynx or trachea.
A nurse is assessing a client who has chronic respiratory insufficiency. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect as result of the long-term inadequate oxygenation? Restlessness Retractions Dependent edema Clubbing of the fingers
Clubbing of the fingers The nurse should expect the client who has chronic hypoxia or respiratory insufficiency to display clubbing of the fingers and toes. The base of the nail becomes swollen and the ends of the fingers and toes can increase in size.

A nurse is assessing a client who has developed atelectasis postop. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect? Facial flushing Increasing dyspnea Decreasing respiratory rate Friction rub
Increasing dyspnea The postoperative client is at increased risk for developing atelectasis because of a blunted cough reflex or shallow breathing due to anesthesia, opioids or pain medication. Common manifestations include shortness of breath and pleural pain.
A nurse is assessing a client who has postop atelectasis and is hypoxic. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect? Bradycardia Bradypnea Lethargy Intercostal retractions
Intercostal retractions Hypoxia is a condition in which the tissues of the body are oxygen-starved. It follows hypoxemia (low oxygen in the blood) and is manifested as substernal or intercostal retractions as the body works harder to draw more oxygen into the lungs.
A nurse is caring for a client with a tracheostomy. The client's partner has been taught to perform suctioning. Which of the following actions by the partner should indicate to the nurse a readiness for the client's discharge? A. Attending a class given about tracheostomy care B. Verbalizing all steps in the procedure C. Performing the procedure independently D. Asking appropriate questions about suctioning
Performing the procedure independently The nurse should recognize that the client is ready for discharge when the spouse demonstrates an ability to perform the procedure that will need to be performed independently at home.

Administer oxygen at 2 L/min. B. Administer prescribed analgesic medication. C. Encourage coughing and deep breathing. D. Raise the head of the bed.
Raise the head of the bed. Elevating the head of the bed uses gravity to reduce pressure on the diaphragm from the abdominal organs and allows for increased expansion of the lungs. The head and neck can be extended, which promotes a patent airway. This is the first action the nurse should take and is the least invasive.
A nurse is reviewing the arterial blood gas values for a client. The pH is 7.32, PaCO2 48 mm Hg and the HCO3 is 23 mEq/L. The nurse should recognize that these findings indicate of which of the following acid base balances? A. Respiratory acidosis B. Respiratory alkalosis C. Metabolic acidosis D. Metabolic alkalosis
Respiratory acidosis A number of conditions can lead to respiratory acidosis, including COPD and pneumonia. In the presence of respiratory acidosis, the client's blood gas values meet the following criteria: a pH less than 7.35, a PaCO2 greater than greater 45 mg/Hg, and a HCO3 that is normal or slightly elevated (22 to 26 mEq/mL).
A client is admitted to the ER with a RR of 7/min. ABG reveal the following values. Which of the following is an appropriate analysis of the ABGs? pH 7.22 PaCO2 68 mm Hg Base excess -2 PaO2 78 mm Hg Saturation 80% Bicarbonate 26 mEq/L
Respiratory acidosis Respiratory acidosis occurs when there is retention of CO2 due to an impairment of respiratory function. It can be the result of respiratory depression, seen with anesthesia or opioid administration; inadequate chest expansion, due to a weakness of the respiratory muscles or constriction to the thorax; an obstruction of the airway, seen in aspiration, bronchoconstriction, or laryngeal edema; or from an inability of the lungs to adequately diffuse gases (O2 and CO2), resulting from conditions such as pneumonia, COPD, chest trauma, or pulmonary emboli. Arterial blood gases will reveal a pH that is lower than the normal reference range (7.35 - 7.45) and a CO2 level that is higher than the normal reference range (35 - 45 mm Hg).
A nurse is preparing to provide tracheostomy care for a client who has a nondisposable tracheostomy tube. Which of the following equipment should the nurse plan to use? A. Sterile cotton balls B. Clean gloves C. Sterile water D. Sterile cotton-tipped applicators E. Sterile basin
Sterile cotton balls is incorrect. The nurse should avoid using sterile cotton balls when providing tracheostomy care as cotton lint can be aspirated by the client. Clean gloves is correct. The nurse will use clean gloves to remove the soiled tracheostomy dressing. Sterile water is incorrect. The nurse will need sterile normal saline to clean the inner cannula and the client's incision site. Sterile cotton-tipped applicators is correct. The nurse will need to use the sterile cotton-tipped applicators to cleanse the tracheostomy site. Sterile basin is correct. The nurse will need a sterile basin to soak the nondisposable inner cannula in

Have the client wear a mask. When a client who has a communicable disease must leave his room, it is important to protect everyone with whom the client comes in contact. Having the client wear a mask protects others from airborne particles should the client cough.
A nurse is monitoring a client following a thoracentesis. The nurse should identify which of the following manifestations as a complication and contact the provider immediately? Serosanguineous drainage from the puncture site Discomfort at the puncture site Increased heart rate Decreased temperature
Increased heart rate Clients are at risk for developing pulmonary edema or cardiovascular distress due mediastinal content shift after the aspiration of a large amount of fluid from the client's pleural space. Therefore, the client may experience an increase in heart and respiratory rate, along with coughing with blood-tinged frothy sputum, and tightness in the chest. These findings require notification of the provider immediately.

A nurse is preparing to suction a client who has a tracheostomy. Identify the sequence of actions the nurse should take?
Adjust the suction Don sterile gloves. Check the function of the suction catheter. Hyperoxygenate the client.Insert the catheter without suction. Apply intermittent suction while rotating the catheter. Check for secretion clearance. First, the nurse should adjust the suction, then don sterile gloves. Next, the nurse should check the function of the suction catheter by suctioning a small amount of solution into the tubing, then ask a peer to hyperoxygenate the client using a manual resuscitation bag valve mask connected to oxygen. The nurse should insert the suction catheter without suction and then apply suction for no more than 10 seconds while rotating the catheter. Finally, the nurse should assess for clearance of secretions.
A nurse is monitoring an older adult client immediately following a bronchoscopy. The nurse's priority is to monitor the client for which of the following? Observing for confusion Auscultating breath sounds Confirming the gag reflex Measuring blood pressure
Confirming the gag reflex When using the airway, breathing, circulation approach to client care, the nurse should first assess the client's gag reflex to ensure that the client has an open airway.
A nurse is caring for a client who has pneumonia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to promote thinning of respiratory secretions? A. Encourage the client to ambulate frequently. B. Encourage coughing and deep breathing. C. Encourage the client to increase fluid intake. D. Encourage regular use of the incentive spirometer.
Encourage the client to increase fluid intake. Increasing fluid intake to1,500 to 2,500 mL/day promotes liquefaction and thinning of pulmonary secretions, which improves the client's ability to cough and remove the secretions.
As part of an annual physical examination, a nurse is preparing a client to undergo a chest x-ray. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the client prior to the procedure? A. Remove all metal necklaces. B. Take several shallow breaths during the procedure. C. Do not eat or drink anything the morning of the test. D. Expect minor discomfort after the procedure.
