oxygenation and ventilatory interventions.
Answer: ABGs, pulse ox, be sure to get an EKG if patient has an acid-base
imbalance!
◍ trachostomy.
Answer: creation of an opening into the trachea, Patients receive
tracheotomy when they are unable to secure their own airway.

Answer: Care designed not to treat an illness but to provide physical and
emotional comfort to the patient and support and guidance to his or her
family. "includes surgical procedures".
