The nurse recognizes the patient most likely to experience hypercarbic respiratory
failure is the one with a diagnosis of
a. acute respiratory distress syndrome
b. pulmonary embolus
c. bronchitis
d. pulmonary edema - Correct answer: C.
Hypercarbic respiratory failure occurs when conditions cause a reduction in minute
volume or an increase in physiologic dead space (for example, COPD [including
bronchitis], asthma, exacerbation of underlying neuromuscular disease). Hypoxic
respiratory failure results from an insult to the pulmonary tissues (such as pneumonia,
ARDS, pulmonary contusion)
A patient with Stage II adenocarcinoma of the lung is being treated with the anti-tumor
antibiotic doxorubicin (Adriamycin). The nurse knows that alteration in dose scheduling
of doxorubicin is needed to decrease the risk of toxicity to which of the following organs:
a. liver
, b. heart
c. pancreas
d. kidney - Correct Answer: B.
Cardiotoxicity can develop from a cumulative drug effect. Altering the dose scheduling
of doxorubicin to include frequent lower doses has resulted in reduction of cardiotoxicity
without compromise of anti tumor effects.
