Answer to Question 1

1
Discontinuation of mechanical ventilation will not be successful if the client is exhausted from the weaning process. The client who requires several days of weaning should be allowed to rest on full ventilatory support during the overnight hours. The client should be weaned from medication used to enhance compliance with mechanical ventilation. Passive range of motion will not help increase the client's strength for the weaning process. Having the client in a sitting position with legs dangling off the side of the bed will not enhance the weaning process.

Answer to Question 2

1
Anemia is caused for a variety of reasons such as nutrition, chronic illness, trauma, medication therapy, immune suppression, and alterations of erythropoiesis. Erythropoietin therapy stimulates red blood cell production in the bone marrow as a treatment for anemia.
