Capillary blood gas samples should not be used to measure which of the following?
 
  1. Partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2)
  2. Partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2)
  3. pH
  4. Hemoximetry oxygen saturation (SaO2)
  a. 1 and 3 c. 1 and 4
  b. 2 and 4 d. 1 and 2

Question 2

Which is the correct order of steps to perform the modified Allen test?
 
  1. Pressure is applied to both the radial and ulnar arteries.
  2. The fist is opened but not fully extended.
  3. Pressure on the ulnar artery is removed.
  4. The hand is clenched into a tight fist.
  5. The palm and fingers are blanched.
  a. 4, 1, 2, 5, 3 c. 1, 4, 3, 2, 5

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The correlation between capillary and arterial pH and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) measurements is better than the correlation between capillary and arterial partial pressure of oxy-gen (PO2) measurements. Consequently, capillary blood gases are more often used to discern ac-id-base balance rather than to assess a patient's oxygenation status.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The order for the modified Allen test is as follows: (1) the hand is clenched into a tight fist; (2) pressure is applied to both the radial and ulnar arteries; (3) the hand is opened but not fully ex-tended; (4) the palm and fingers are blanched; and (5) pressure on the ulnar artery is re-movedthis should result in flushing of the entire hand.

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

Did you know?

ACTH levels are normally highest in the early morning (between 6 and 8 A.M.) and lowest in the evening (between 6 and 11 P.M.). Therefore, a doctor who suspects abnormal levels looks for low ACTH in the morning and high ACTH in the evening.

Did you know?

Vaccines cause herd immunity. If the majority of people in a community have been vaccinated against a disease, an unvaccinated person is less likely to get the disease since others are less likely to become sick from it and spread the disease.
