Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: Impaired Gas Exchange
Rationale : The only nursing diagnosis supported by hypoxia as the only finding is Impaired Gas Exchange. The client may have other nursing diagnoses such as Ineffective Breathing Pattern or Ineffective Airway Clearance, but those diagnoses are not supported by the findings in this scenario.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: There are no data to support Ineffective Breathing Pattern.
Rationale 2: There are no data that support Anxiety as a diagnosis.
Rationale 3: The data given for this client best support the nursing diagnosis of Ineffective Airway Clearance. The most supportive finding for this diagnosis is bibasilar crackles.
Rationale 4: There are no data that support Impaired Gas Exchange.
