Unintentional disclosure of PHI

As you are walking toward the lunchroom, you pass a computer that has a patient’s health information displayed from the electronic health record (EHR).

A nursing home patient was diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia

A nursing home patient was diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia. Could you have performed a bedside evaluation on this patient or were not able to clear their sections?

The post-intubation arterial blood gas

A client in acute respiratory failure is intubated and placed on mechanical ventilation. The post-intubation arterial blood gas (ABG) results are: pH 7.55, PaCO2 29 mm Hg, and PaO2 93 mm Hg. The collaborative healthcare team will MOST LIKELY decide to implement which of the following interventions?

Group of answer choices

Decrease the respiratory rate.

 

Increase the tidal volume.

 

Increase the minute volume.

Why is the use of positive end-expiratory pressure

Why is the use of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) beneficial when treating mechanically ventilated patient with pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)?

Group of answer choices

PEEP increases alveolar recruitment.

PEEP decreases capillary leakage.

PEEP increases dead-space ventilation.

PEEP decreases intrapulmonary shunt.
