lungs and heart can (compensate/worsen) for - homeostasis

heart rate, or both, allowing the body to return
to (disequilibrium/homeostasis.) When com-

lead to tissue and organ (damage/hypertro-
phy) or death.
5. For each underlying pathophysiologic change, Hypoxia
specify if the change is associated with hypox- - Not enough functional red blood cell-
ia or hypoxemia. s
- Blood is not reaching the tissues
- Hypoventilation - Cyanide poisoning
- Oxygen is not reaching the alveoli
- Not enough functional red blood cells Hypoxemia
- Diffusion impairment - Hypoventilation
- Blood is not reaching the tissues - Oxygen is not reaching the alveoli
- Cyanide poisoning - Diffusion impairment

9. Situation: An older adult arrives at the emer- Impaired gas exchange
gency department (ED) with a productive
cough, fatigue, and shortness of breath that
has worsened over the last three days.
Background: No history of medical problems;
takes no prescription medications; occasion-
ally takes acetaminophen for pain; does not
smoke.
Assessment: T 98.6°F (37°C), BP 155/85, P 120,
R 30, oxygen saturation (O2 sat) 88% on room
air; lung sounds diminished right lower lobe
with rhonchi present; heart regular rhythm
with no murmurs or extra heart sounds.
The client is admitted with dyspnea. They are
tachypneic at 30 with a blood pressure of
160/90, pulse of 125 and regular, and oxygen
saturation is 88%. What is the priority nursing
diagnosis for this client?

The chest x-ray results confirm community-ac-

on these results, what is the most likely cause
of the client's increased respirations?
