Serum Electrolytes - CORRECT-ANSWER-can affect the conduction of
the heart
Hemoglobin - CORRECT-ANSWER-An iron-containing protein in red
blood cells that reversibly binds oxygen.
Creatinine kinase and troponin - CORRECT-ANSWER-is elevated with
cardiac cell death. usually indicates an MI
Wheezing - CORRECT-ANSWER-High pitched sound heard in the lungs
with asthmatics or lung disease. Severely constricted or inflamed
airways. EXHALE
stridor - CORRECT-ANSWER-Harsh or high-pitched respiratory sound,
caused by an obstruction of the air passages. Upper respiratory.
Medical emergency. INHALE

Place patients head to the side when suctioning - CORRECT-ANSWER-
tracheostomy and endotracheal tubes/cleaning - CORRECT-ANSWER-
are STERILE procedures
only apply suction for 5-10 seconds
Nasal cannula - CORRECT-ANSWER-24-45% O2 at 2-6 L
very drying to membrane. Can humidify

Do not place on hypercapnia patients on because they retain CO2 too
much. This can cause respiratory depression.
