Alterations in Pathophysiology Related Health Promotion and
Health (Diagnosis) to Client Problem Disease Prevention
- Impaired gas exchange - Occurs when oxygenation, - Treat infections
- Ineffective airway clearance ventilation, or both are inadequate. - Reduce anxiety, pain, and restlessness
ARF is not a disease. It is a symptom - Effective coughing and positioning
that reflects lung function
Risk Factors Expected Findings
- Airway
- Hepatopulmonary syndrome - Mismatch between ventilation suctioning may
- Massive pulmonary embolism and perfusion cause
- Pneumonia - Shunt dysrhythmias
- Diffusion limitation
Laboratory Tests Diagnostic Procedures
- ABG'S - Chest x-ray
- CBC - Pulse ox
PATIENT-CENTERED CARE Complications
Nursing Care Medications Client Education -Possibility of O2
toxicity and
- Mobilization of secretions -Bronchodilators -Teach patients to practice
