Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The nurse uses the nursing process to care for the immobile client and assesses for complications resulting from lack of mobility. While sleep is important, the client who is unable to reposition themselves must be repositioned every two hours, not hourly. The client performs active, not passive, ROM.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: At a higher altitude, there is less oxygen in the atmosphere, requiring faster respirations to obtain the same oxygen acquired at lower elevations. The respirations would increase to try to obtain more oxygen. See-saw respirations are uneven breathing, and diminished breath sounds are not a part of counting respirations.

Did you know?

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.

Did you know?

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?

The first monoclonal antibodies were made exclusively from mouse cells. Some are now fully human, which means they are likely to be safer and may be more effective than older monoclonal antibodies.
