Nur 355 Exam 3 2026 Expert
Verifed Ace the Test
Hypoxia - ANSWER ✔✔Low oxygen saturation of the body, not
enough oxygen in the blood
hypoxemia - ANSWER ✔✔deficient amount of oxygen in the blood
pao2 less than 60, sao2 less than 90
Dyspena - ANSWER ✔✔difficult or labored breathing, subjective
Respitory Assessment - ANSWER ✔✔How do they appear? Skin
color, sweating, temperature•
,Alert and oriented or confused?•
Are they working very hard to breathe?•
Nares are patent, no visible mucous obstructing breathing•
Are the mucous membranes intact?•
Shape of chest should be symmetrical, movements should be
symmetrical.•
Obtain vital signs. Count the respirations without the patient knowing
tactile fremitus (palpation) - ANSWER ✔✔Palpable vibration from
patient speaking "99"
Felt at 2nd intercostal space
Decreased vibration = Excess air or accumulation of fluid
Increased vibration = solid mass or consolidation of secretions or
infections
palpate trachea - ANSWER ✔✔Trachea is midline and freely
movable, neck is supple and without masses
normal lung sounds - ANSWER ✔✔bronchial, bronchovesicular,
vesicular
Abnormal lung sounds - ANSWER ✔✔Rales = fluid in the bases (LA)
, Wheezing = bronchial constriction (LA)
Rhonchi = large amount of secretion (midlung)
Stridor = obstruction in (UA)
Artieral Blood Gas - ANSWER ✔✔a blood test measures the gases in
your blood it records bicarb, co2, ph and pao2 (invasive)
pulse oximetry - ANSWER ✔✔An assessment tool that measures
oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in the capillary beds. (non-invasive)
Respiratory age related concerns - ANSWER ✔✔Osteoporosis,
kyphosis, stiffening of muscles and bones• Decrease in strength of
diaphragm, intercostals•
Decreased tissue elasticity•
Airway reactivity combined with delayed response to bronchodilators•
Decreased cough reflex•
Increased neutrophil activity combined with decreased production of
macrophages
Nasal cannula flow rate - ANSWER ✔✔1-6 L/min
24-44%
