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 - 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 syndrome (A...

ideal breathing pattern for improving ventilation correct answer: the same regardless of what type of therapy is given (SMI, IPPB, aerosol therapy, etc) slow, deep inspiration (from resting exhalation) inspiratory pause/hold (1-3 seconds) exhalation is slow, passive and relaxed patient may relax in between maneuvers with normal tidal volume breathing patient positioning correct answer: a modification of the patients position may enhance oxygenation examples: prone po...
