Chapter 28: Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeWhich of the following materials will be found in the interalveolar walls of a patient with ARDS? 1. Leukocytes 2. Cellular debris 3. Fibrin 4. Hyaline membrane - correct answer 2,3,4 A patient has a prolonged case of ARDS. What changes would be expected in the patients alveolar cells? Development of emphysema Multiplication of the type I cells Influx of macrophages Hyperplasia and swelling of the type II cells - correct answer Hyp...

NCLEX Acute Respiratory Failure and ARDSANS: C ABG analysis is most useful in this setting because ventilatory failure causes problems with CO2 retention, and ABGs provide information about the PaCO2 and pH. The other tests also may be done to help in assessing oxygenation or determining the cause of the patient's ventilatory failure. DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity - correct answer To evaluate the effectiveness ...

Clinical Judgement ARDS/Acute respiratory failureWhat are the clinical manifestations of ALI/ ARDS? - correct answer Refractory hypoxemia Dyspnea Tachypnea Restlessness Change in LOC Tachycardia crackles noncardiogenic pulmonary edema how to distinguish noncardiogenic pulmonary edema vs cardiac faliure pulmonary edema - correct answer o There is no JVD with ARDS Why do we use prone positioning? - correct answer Avoids damage to posterior areas of lung minimizes exudative secretion...

Pulmonary Edema/ARDS A patient has a decreased oncotic pressure. What can be done to increase it? a. Administer albumin b. Administer morphine sulfate c. Implement a high-salt diet d. Administer milrinone a. Administer albumin A patient has a prolonged case of ARDS. What changes would be expected in the patient's alveolar cells? a. Development of emphysema b. Hyperplasia and swelling of the type II cells c. Influx of macrophages d. Multiplication of the type I cells b. Hyper...

ARDS/VENTSARDS: Medical Management - correct answer 1) PEEP 2) Positive Pressure Mechanical Ventilation 3) Position changes- prone and continuous lateral rotation 4) fluid mgt 5) meds- don't really work but still here they are: -corticosteroids -inhaled Nitric Oxide -surfactant replacement -partial liquid ventilation -neuromuscular blocking agents -nutrition with enteral formulas 6) giving carbon dioxide (hypercapnia) PEEP - correct answer positive end expiratory pressure mechani...

RCP 140 CH 28 ARDSWhich of the following materials will be found in the interalveolar walls of a patient with ARDS? - correct answer Cellular debris. Fibrin A patient has a prolonged case of ARDS. What changes would be expected in the patient's alveolar cells? - correct answer Hyperplasia and swelling of the type II cells Which of the following pulmonary changes are associated with ARDS? - correct answer Abnormal surfactant . Interstitial edema What is the reason for the elevated risk ...

Lewis's Chapter 67: Acute Respiratory Failure and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Test BankWhich diagnostic test will provide the nurse with the most specific information to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions for a patient with ventilatory failure? a. Chest x-ray b. O2 saturation c. Arterial blood gas analysis d. Central venous pressure monitoring - correct answer ANS: C Arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis is most useful in this setting because ventilatory failure causes probl...

Med-Surg Sp2017 ARDS & Mechanical Ventilation Unresponsive arterial hypoxemia Explanation: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can be thought of as a spectrum of disease, from its milder form (acute lung injury) to its most severe form of fulminate, life-threatening ARDS. This clinical syndrome is characterized by a severe inflammatory process causing diffuse alveolar damage that results in sudden and progressive pulmonary edema, increasing bilateral infiltrates on chest x-ray, hy...

Chapter 67: Acute Respiratory Failure and Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeWhich diagnostic test will provide the nurse with the most specific information to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions for a patient with ventilatory failure? A. Chest x-ray B. O2 saturation C. Arterial blood gas analysis D. Central venous pressure monitoring - correct answer C. Arterial blood gas analysis Which actions should the nurse start to reduce the risk for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)?...

Chapter 19: Management of Patients with Chest and Lower Respiratory Tract DisordersThe nurse is educating a patient who will be started on an antituberculosis medication regimen. The patient asks the nurse, "How long will I have to be on these medications?" What should the nurse tell the patient? 3 months 3 to 5 months 6 to 12 months 13 to 18 months - correct answer 6 to 12 months Explanation: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is treated primarily with anti-TB agents for 6 to 12 months.
