RNSG 1341 - Exam 1 - NCLEX QuestionsTo promote the release of surfactant, the nurse encourages the patient to take deep breaths. - correct answer . A patient with a respiratory condition asks, "How does air get into my lungs?" - correct answer The nurse bases her answer on knowledge that air moves into the lungs because of decrease in intrathoracic pressure relative to pressure at the airway. The nurse can best determine adequate arterial oxygenation of the blood by assessing arterial ox...

Arterial Blood Gases (ABG's) Questions and Answers Already Passed What is an ABG? It measures the partial pressures of O2, CO2, pH, and HCO3 in arterial blood. Who usually collects this bloodwork? From where? Respiratory therapists commonly collect arterial blood from the radial, brachial, and femoral arteries for this profile. What is acidosis? It occurs when arterial blood has an excess of H+ ions, resulting in a pH below 7.35. What are the acids? They include H+...

ATLS Test 1 Exam A 22-year-old man is hypotensive and tachycardic after a shotgun wound to the left shoulder. His blood pressure is initially 80/40 mm Hg. After initial fluid resuscitation his blood pressure increases to 122/84 mm Hg. His heart rate is now 100 beats per minute and his respiratory rate is 28 breaths per minute. A tube thoracostomy is performed for decreased left chest breath sounds with the return of a small amount of blood and no air leak. After chest tube insertion, the most ap...
