12 to 24 BPM Correct Answers normal respirations of older
adults
20 to 40 BPM Correct Answers infants
30 - 60 BPM Correct Answers newborns
abnormal assessment findings in skin Correct Answers
cyanosis, club, nails
abnormal assessments in the thoracic cavity Correct Answers
anterior posterior equals transverse thoracic diameter
measurements barrel chest
abnormal findings in muscles of breathing? Correct Answers
retraction of the intercostals.
,Sternocleidomastoid muscles of the neck contract.
Posturing occurs
abnormal findings in needles assessment Correct Answers
deviated septum,, foreign bodies,, asymmetry, purulent drainage,
watery nasal drainage, pale turbinates
abnormal findings in respiratory reassessment Correct Answers
tachypnea, bradypnea, apnea, Cheney Stokes
respirations,shortness of breath, dyspnea, orthopnea
abnormal findings of palpation of the thoracic wall for
symmetry Correct Answers asymmetry of movement occurs.
Decreased expansion occurs.
The trachea shifts from midline
acid-base balance Correct Answers In the presence of
tachypnea, excessive CO2 is expelled from the body, which
triggers a series of metabolic events that raise the cellular pH in
the body. This is called respiratory alkalosis. In the presence of
decreased ventilation, CO2 accumulates, leading to decreased
cellular pH and respiratory acidosis.
,additional assessment of respiratory system in pregnant women
Correct Answers assess for rhinitis(nasal stuffiness), nosebleeds
these are due to increased estrogen.
Assess for respiratory diseases
assess for tactile fremitus due respiratory disease
assess for low pitched resonance of moderate intensity due to
high diaphragm
assess the secular breath sounds with the longer inspiratory
phase of 3 to 1
affects quality of circulation in perfusion Correct Answers
diabetes affects vascular health
An adult client returns from the postanesthesia care unit (PACU)
following a laparoscopic appendectomy. The nurse checks the
postoperative notes and determines which factor is most
important with regard to the client's
immediate oxygenation status?
Amount of drainage on the surgical dressings in the last 1 hr
Amount of narcotics the client received over the last 4 hr
Amount of urine output over the past 4 hr
, Amount of intravenous fluid infused over the last 2 hr Correct
Answers Rationale
The amount of narcotics the client received over the last 4 hr is
of most immediate consideration. Narcotics depress the central
nervous system, decreasing respiratory function and rate and
thus placing clients at risk for alterations in respirations. While
the other options are important areas to assess, they do not
directly influence the client's respiratory status.
an early sign of compromise children Correct Answers nasal
flaring
anatomic differences in children and older adults Correct
Answers Smaller nasopharynx, easily occluded during
infection.
Tonsils and adenoids are enlarged and grow rapidly. These
atrophy after age 12.
Smaller nostrils are easily blocked.
Smaller mouth and relatively large tongue increase risk of
obstruction.
Long, floppy epiglottis easily blocks the pharynx if swollen.
Larynx and glottis are higher in neck, increasing risk of
aspiration.
The tracheal cartilage is softer and may easily collapse when
neck is flexed.
