Answer to Question 1

D
The therapeutic intervention to address the patient's circulatory systems has the following three main goals: (1) reduction of pulmonary venous return (preload reduction); (2) reduction of systemic vascular resistance (afterload reduction); and (3) inotropic support. A positive chronotropic medication would increase heart rate. This is not indicated in the treatment of cardiogenic pulmonary edema.

Answer to Question 2

C
Precipitating factors for retained secretions include (1) decreased mucociliary transport, (2) excessive secretions, (3) inadequate hydration, (4) weak or absent cough, (5) general anesthesia, (6) smoking history, (7) gastric aspiration, and (8) certain preexisting conditions.

Answer to Question 3

D
Because of the difficulty of obtaining arterial blood gas (ABG) samples from newborn and pediatric patients, capillary blood gas (CBG) samples are usually used to determine the pH, PaCO2, and HCO3 (i.e., the acid-base and ventilation status only). Capillary PO2 values are unreliable and should not be used for clinical analysis. The standard practice of care to evaluate the oxygenation status in these young patients is pulse oximetry (SpO2).

Did you know?

About 60% of newborn infants in the United States are jaundiced; that is, they look yellow. Kernicterus is a form of brain damage caused by excessive jaundice. When babies begin to be affected by excessive jaundice and begin to have brain damage, they become excessively lethargic.

Did you know?

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.

Did you know?

Alzheimer's disease affects only about 10% of people older than 65 years of age. Most forms of decreased mental function and dementia are caused by disuse (letting the mind get lazy).

Did you know?

An identified risk factor for osteoporosis is the intake of excessive amounts of vitamin A. Dietary intake of approximately double the recommended daily amount of vitamin A, by women, has been shown to reduce bone mineral density and increase the chances for hip fractures compared with women who consumed the recommended daily amount (or less) of vitamin A.

Did you know?

The Food and Drug Administration has approved Risperdal, an adult antipsychotic drug, for the symptomatic treatment of irritability in children and adolescents with autism. The approval is the first for the use of a drug to treat behaviors associated with autism in children. These behaviors are included under the general heading of irritability and include aggression, deliberate self-injury, and temper tantrums.
