Answer to Question 1
positive airway pressure
Continuous positive airway pressure keeps the alveoli partially inflated, reducing the risk for atelectasis; if atelectasis has occurred, positive pressure assists in reinflation.
Answer to Question 2
C
When documenting a significant change on a flow sheet, you describe the change, including the patient response to nursing interventions, in the progress notes. For example, if a patient's blood pressure becomes dangerously low, record the blood pressure in the progress notes, as well as relevant assessment such as pallor and dizziness and any interventions performed to raise the blood pressure. Common issues in malpractice caused by inadequate or incorrect documentation include failing to give a report or giving an incomplete report to an oncoming shift and failing to document the correct time of events.
