100% CORRECT (VERIFIED SOLUTIONS)
1. A medication that is given to patients for diuresis and is a loop
diuretic putting patients at risk for dehydration and electrolyte
imbalances (specifically low K) leaving the patient at risk for
cardiac function issues. We must encourage our patient to eat
leafy green vegetable consumption while on a loop diuretic
unless on a potassium sparing diuretic.: Furosemide
2. Low levels of oxygen levels in your tissues which can cause
respiratory and cardiac conditions to anemia.: Hypoxia
3. Low levels of oxygen in the blood and reflects how well
oxygen is able to move from the lungs to the blood often seen
the severe illness.: Hypoxemia 4. What are the signs of
Hypoxia?: Anxiety, confusion, tachypnea, tachycardia, cyanosis,
restlessness, dyspnea.
NUR 100
, 5. What is hypercapnia or hypercarbia?: Excessive CO2 in
the bloodstream typically caused by inadequate respiration.
6. How is Hypercapnia identified?: Arterial Blood Gas test
(ABG)
7. How is Hypercapnia treat?: CPAP oxygenation machine
8. What is the difference between a CPAP and BiPAP
machine?: CPAP is used for people at night who have sleep
apnea. BiPAP is used for people who need help to breath during
inhalation and exhalation at all.
9. What condition would make a patient more susceptible
for hypercapnia?: COPD, Sleep apnea, Stroke, Sedative
overdose, Hypothyroidism.
10. An atypical pattern of breathing involving deep breathing
followed by shallow breathing and periods of apnea. IT is a
serious condition that usually occurs due to an underlying healh
condition, such as congestive hearth failure. Treatment typically
involves manageing the underlying condition.: -
, Cheyne-Stokes respirations
11. Audible noises with breathing are an indication of
respiratory conditions. Further assess lung sounds with
stethoscope for adventitious sounds such as cheyne-stokes.
wheezing, rales, or crackles.: Noisy breathing
12. Can plug the airway, thereby decreasing the amount of
oxygen available for gas exchange in the lungs.: Secretions
13. A sign of respiratory distress, especially in infants.:
Flaring nostrils
14. Bluish changes in skin color and mucous membranes
is a late sign of hypoxia.: Cyanosis
15. Patients in respiratory distress often automatically sit
up and lean over by resting arms on their legs, referred to as
the tripod position. The tripod position enhances lung
expansion. Conversely, patients who are hypoxic often feel
worse dyspnea when lying flat in bed and avoid the supine
position.: Position of patient
