25
Q

Hypoxia:

A

Inadequate tissue oxygenation at the cellular level

26
Q

Hypoventilation:

A

Alveolar ventilation inadequate to meet the body’s oxygen demand or to eliminate sufficient carbon dioxide

31
Q

Substance abuse

A

Excessive use of alcohol and other drugs impairs tissue oxygenation.

32
Q

Stress

A

A continuous state of stress or severe anxiety increases the metabolic rate and oxygen demand of the body.

33
Q

Myocardial ischemia:

A

results when the supply to the blood to the myocardium from the coronary arteries is insufficient to meet oxygen demands

34
Q

Angina pectoris:

A

transient imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand

35
Q

Myocardial infarction (MI) or Acute coronary syndrome (ACS):

A

results from sudden decreases in coronary blood flow or increase in myocardial oxygen demand without adequate perfusion

36
Q

The incidence of pulmonary disease is higher in

A

smoggy, urban areas than in rural areas.

37
Q

Coccidioidomycosis:

A

fungal disease that can inhale spores

A

lead to lung cancer

    - Defibrillation (automatic external defibrillator [AED])
57
Q

The nurse is caring for a patient who has decreased mobility. Which intervention is a simple and cost-effective method for reducing risks of stasis of pulmonary secretions and decreased chest wall expansion?

A

Frequent change of position - something the nurse can do without the doctor’s order

58
Q

The nurse goes to assess a new patient and finds him lying supine (flat) in bed. The patient tells the nurse that he feels short of breath. Which nursing action should the nurse perform first?

A

Raise the head of the bed to 45 degrees - comfort first

59
Q

Which intervention is appropriate for preventing atelectasis in the postoperative patient?

A

Incentive spirometer
