Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Normal blood pH is 7.35-7.45. A decreased pH indicates that the client is experiencing acidosis, which indicates an alteration in oxygenation. The serum sodium does not impact the oxygen capacity of the body. The hemoglobin level affects the amount of oxygen that can be carried in the blood; however, the value is within normal limits. Oxygen saturation of 96 is within normal limits.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The nurse auscultated rhonchi, which are low-pitched sounds that are continuous throughout inspiration. Rhonchi suggests blockage of large airway passages, which may be cleared with coughing. Stridor is the sound created by narrow tracheal passages. A low-pitched grating sound is created by inflamed pleural surfaces. Wheezing is created by narrow bronchi.
