• A nurse caring for a patient with chronic obstructive

pulmonary disease (COPD) knows that hypoxia may occur in patients with respiratory problems. What are signs of this serious condition?

Select all answers that apply.

• Dyspnea

B .Hypotension

• Small pulse pressure
• Decreased respiratory rate
• Pallor
• Increased pulse rate - Answer-1. a, c, e, f. If a problem

exists in ventilation, respiration, or perfusion, hypoxia may occur. Hypoxia is a condition in which an inadequate amount of oxygen is available to cells. The most common symptoms of hypoxia are dyspnea (difficulty breathing), an elevated blood pressure with a small pulse pressure, 1 / 4

increased respiratory and pulse rates, pallor, and cyanosis.

• A nurse is suctioning the nasopharyngeal airway of a

patient to maintain a patent airway. For which condition would the nurse anticipate the need for a nasal trumpet?

• The patient vomits during suctioning.
• The secretions appear to be stomach contents.
• The catheter touches an unsterile surface.
• Epistaxis is noted with continued suctioning. - Answer-.
• When epistaxis is noted with continued suctioning, the

nurse should notify the physician and anticipate the need for a nasal trumpet. The nasal trumpet will protect the nasal mucosa from further trauma related to suctioning.

• A nurse is inserting an oropharyngeal airway for a

patient who vomits when it is inserted. Which action would be the first that should be taken by the nurse related to this occurrence?

• Quickly position the patient on his or her side.
• Put on disposable gloves and remove the oral airway. 2 / 4

• Check that the airway is the appropriate size for the

patient.

• Put on sterile gloves and suction the airway. - Answer-
• When a patient vomits upon insertion of an

oropharyngeal airway, the nurse should immediately position the patient on his or her side to prevent aspiration, remove the oral airway, and suction the mouth if needed

• A nurse is choosing a catheter to use to suction a

patient's endotracheal tube via an open system. On which variable would the nurse base the size of the catheter to use?

• The age of the patient
• The size of the endotracheal tube
• The type of secretions to be suctioned
• The height and weight of the patient - Answer-. b. The

nurse would base the size of the suctioning catheter on the size of the endotracheal tube. The external diameter of the suction catheter should not exceed half of the internal diameter of the endotracheal tube. Larger catheters can contribute to trauma and hypoxemia.

• A nurse is caring for a 16-year-old male patient who has

been hospitalized for an acute asthma exacerbation.Which testing methods might the nurse use to measure the patient's oxygen saturation? Select all that apply.

• Thoracentesis
• Spirometry
• Pulse oximetry
• Peak expiratory flow rate
• Diffusion capacity
• Maximal respiratory pressure - Answer-b, c, d.

Spirometers are used to monitor the health status of patients with respiratory disorders, such as asthma.Pulse oximetry is used to obtain baseline information about the patient's oxygen saturation level and is also performed for patients with asthma, along with PEFR to monitor airflow. These three tests may be administered by the nurse.

Diffusion capacity estimates the patient's ability to absorb alveolar gases and determines if a gas exchange problem exists. Maximal respiratory pressures help evaluate neuromuscular causes of respiratory dysfunction. Both
