To regulate the temperature of the environment and make it more comfortable for the patient. Assist the patient with position changes every 2 hours. A patient who is being treated at home for pneumonia reports fatigue to the home health nurse. 1. These interventions help ensure that the patient has the appropriate knowledge and is able to perform these activities. Hyperkalemia is not occurring and will not directly affect oxygenation initially. St. Louis, MO: Elsevier. The pH is also decreased in mixed venous blood gases because of the higher partial pressure of carbon dioxide in venous blood (PvCO2). Symptoms of an abscess caused by aerobic bacteria develop more acutely and resemble bacterial pneumonia. This can occur for various reasons, including but not limited to: lung disease, heart failure, and pneumonia. Monitor and document vital signs (VS) every 2 to 4 hours or as the patients condition requires. Select all that apply. c. Percussion 2018.01.18 NMNEC Curriculum Committee.

Teach the patient to splint the chest with a pillow, folded blanket, or folded arms. The nitroglycerin tablet would not be helpful, and the oxygenation status is a bigger problem than the slight chest pain at this time. Changes in oxygen therapy or interventions should be avoided for 15 minutes before the specimen is drawn because these changes might alter blood gas values. d. Activity-exercise Aspiration precautions include maintaining a 30-degree elevation of the HOB, turning the patient onto his or her side rather than back, and using continuous rather than bolus feeding when the patient is enteral. Which instructions does the nurse provide for the patient? This position provides comfort and facilitates the ease and effectiveness of these exercises by promoting better lung expansion (less compression of the lungs by the abdominal organs) and better gas exchange. Assess the ability and effectiveness of cough.Pneumonia infection causes inflammation and increased sputum production. Lack of lung expansion caused by kyphosis of the spine results in shallow breathing with decreased chest expansion. Bronchoconstriction Oxygen is administered when O2 saturation or ABG results show hypoxemia. The tissue changes of TB and cancer of the lung may be diagnosed by chest x-ray or CT scan, MRI, or positron emission tomography (PET) scans.
