Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, C, E

The older adult client is demonstrating signs of hypoxemia. The nurse should remove the suction catheter, hyperinflate the client's lungs, and hyperoxygenate the client. The client does not need to have restraints applied to all 4 extremities. The client should be in the Fowler or high-Fowler position.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

A priority nursing intervention for a client with a respiratory rate of 8 breaths per minutes and an oxygen saturation of 82 is Impaired Spontaneous Ventilation. If the current pattern continues without intervention, the client could experience respiratory arrest. While the other nursing diagnoses may also be appropriate, they are not the priority for this client.
