Ideal breathing pattern correct answer: 1.* Slow, deep inspiration ( from resting exhalation). 2.* Inspiratory pause/hold ( 1-3 secs) 3.* Exhalation is slow, passive and relaxed. 4.* Patient may relax in between maneuvers with normal tidal volume breathing. * Tell patients while giving treatment* Patient positioning correct answer: 1. A modification of the patient's position may enhance oxygenation 2. Ex: a) Prone position (face down) for ARDS b) Fowler's position (sitting up 35-45...

Ch. 67 Lewis ARF & ARDS Questions with correct Answers 2024 Which diagnostic test will provide the nurse with the most specific information to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions for a patient with ventilatory failure? a. Chest x-ray b. O2 saturation c. Arterial blood gas analysis d. Central venous pressure monitoring ANS: C Arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis is most useful in this setting because ventilatory failure causes problems with CO2 retention, and ABGs provide information ...

1) A nurse is caring for a patient with ARDS. The nurse views the ABG. What value should the nurse report to the physician? pH: 7.35 PaCO2: 26mmhg PaO2:95 HCO3: 22 a) PaCO2 b)pH c)HCO3 d)PaO2 - ANSWER-a The normal range for PaCO2 is 35-45. This patient is experiencing a superimposed respiratory alkalosis likely due to hyperventilation. The nurse should report the PaCO2 to the physician. 2) A nurse must position the patient prone after his diagnosis of acute respiratory distress...

Patho of ARDS correct answer: - sudden, progressive type of respiratory failure - significant inflammatory response - increased capillary permeability - alveolar capillary membrane becomes damaged and more permeable to intravascular fluid (alveoli fill with fluid) Early S&S of ARDS correct answer: - dyspnea, tachypnea, cough, restlessness - auscultation of chest may reveal fine, scattered crackles or may be normal - ABGs - mild hypoxia and respiratory alkalosis caused by hyperventilati...
