Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, E
The good lung down position increases the PaO2 in the good lung and also allows for better perfusion, consequently decreasing hypoxia, although dyspnea may still be evident.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
Independent nursing intervention to help a patient to expectorate would include positioning, assisting to cough, suctioning, and providing hydration IV therapy; provision of a mucolytic agent requires a physician's order and is not an independent nursing action..
