37
During a thoracentesis, client education would be what?
Remain absolutely still during the procedure. Do not cough or talk unless directed to by provider.
38
During thorancentesis, what is the amount of fluid removed limited to at a time to prevent re-expansion pulmonary edema?
1 Liter
39
Complications of thorancentesis
Mediastinal shift (shift of thoracic structures to one side of the body) Pneumothorax (collapsed lung) Bleeding. Infection
40
A nurse is caring for a client who is scheduled for a thorancentesis. Prior to the procedure, how is the client positioned?
Upright position, leaning over bedside table.
41
In a 3- chamber chest tube system, what are the chambers for.
1st- drainage collection 2nd- water seal 3rd- suction control (wet or dry)
42
To maintain the water seal with the chest tube system, what does the nurse need to do?
Keep chamber upright and below the chest tube insertion at all times Monitor the water level due to possible evaporation Add fluid if needed to maintain seal
43
What is the typical suction pressure prescribed with chest tube systems?
-20cm H2O
44
Indications for chest tube insertions
Pneumothorax Hemothorax Postoperative chest drainage Pleural effusion Pulmonary empyema (accumulation of pus in pleural space)
45
When the chest tube is inserted to drain fluid from the lung, where is it inserted.
The tip of tube is inserted near the base of the lung on the side.
46
When the chest tube is inserted to remove air from the pleural space, where is it inserted?
The tip of tube will be near the apex of the lung
47
FiO2 rate of nasal cannula
24-44% at flow rates of 1-6 L/min
48
FiO2 of simple face mask
40-60% at flow rates of 5-8 L/min. Minimum flow rate is 5 L/min. To ensure flushing of CO2 from the mask
49
FiO2 of partial rebreather mask
40-75% at flow rate of 6-11 L/min
50
Non rebreather mask FiO2 rate?
80-90% at flow rates of 10-15 L/min To keep reservoir bag 2/3rds full during inspiration and expiration
51
High flow oxygen delivery systems.
Venturi mask. Aerosol mask, face tent, and tracheostomy collar. T-piece
52
Examples of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation
Continuous positive airway pressure Bi-level positive airway pressure Transtracheal oxygen therapy
53
Mechanical ventilation can be delivered via….
ET tube Tracheostomy tube
54
Pressure support ventilation (PSV) mode does what?
Allows preset pressure delivered during spontaneous ventilation to decrease the work of breathing
55
How often should the nurse assess breath sounds for a patient receiving mechanical ventilation?
Every 4 hrs
56
Nursing priority for clients who have a cute respiratory distress is what
Maintain a patent airway to promote oxygenation
