After a spontaneous pneumothorax, hypercapnia
a client's assessment findings include

obstructive pulmonary disease

weight gain in 1 week, the nurse will

Which assessment finding indicates drowsiness, irregular pulse, mental confusion
to the nurse that a client with chronic

rate. The nurse would take which

A client is hospitalized after 4 days of metabolic alkalosis
epigastric pain, nausea, and
vomiting. The nurse reviews the

7.51, pCO 2 50 mm Hg, bicarbonate

mEq/L (55 mmolL), sodium 132
mEq/L (132 mmol/L), and potassium
3.8 mEq/L (3.8 mmol/L). Which
condition does the nurse determine
