WITH DETAILED VERIFIED AND 100% ACCURATE
ANSWERS
localized infection symtom Correct Answers Inflammation
Which symptom would the nurse expect to observe in a patient with a
localized infection
fever
tacbycardia
decreased 02
inflammation Correct Answers Fever
A localized infection typically only manifests as inflammation at the site
of infection. Systemic symptoms should not be present if the infection
remains localized.
Tachycardia
During the initial inflammatory response, the organism invades the
tissue at the localized areas, white blood cells (WBCs) invade the
infected source and cytokines are excreted which trigger local
inflammation. This helps to prevent systemic infection that could lead to
tachycardia.
Decreased oxygen saturation
Decreased oxygen saturation occurs with systemic infection. The body
responds to localized infection with inflammation which is triggered in
an attempt to keep the infection localized while the infectious source is
neutralized.
Inflammation
Correct answer
, When infection is confined to a local area, it should not lead to sepsis
and shock. In the adult whose immunity and inflammatory responses are
effective, the presence of organism invasion starts a helpful local
response of inflammation, that confines and eliminates the organism and
prevents the infection from becoming widespread.
Which symptom would the nurse expect to associate with sepsis and the
early phases of septic shock?
Select all that apply. One, some, or all responses may be correct.
Elevated systolic blood pressure
Warm extremities
Lower oxygen saturation
Cyanosis
Change in cognition
Delayed capillary refill Correct Answers low 02
change in cog
elevated systolic
warm extremeties
Box 31.7 Conditions Predisposing to Sepsis and Septic Shock Correct
Answers Malnutrition
Immunosuppression
Large, open wounds
