A client goes to the Emergency Department with acute respiratory distress and the following arterial blood gases (ABGs): pH 7.35, PCO2 40 mmHg, PO263mmHg, HCO3 23, and oxygenation saturation ( SaO2) 93%.

Physiological Adaptation2. Right Answer: CExplanation: It is not enough to simply make sure the client is breathing. The client must be breathing adequately. Physiological Adaptation3. Right Answer: AExplanation: COPD clients are compensating for low oxygen and high carbon dioxide levels. Hypoxia is the main stimulus to breathe in persons with chronic hypercapnia.Increasing the level of oxygen decreases the stimulus to breathe. Physiological Adaptation4. Right Answer: DExplanation: A combined low PO2 and lowSaO2 indicates hypoxia. The pH, PCO2, and HCO3 are normal. ABGs are not necessarily altered in TB or pleural effusion.Depending on the degree of the pneumonia, the PO2 and PCO2 might be low because hypoxia stimulates hyperventilation. Physiological Adaptation5. Right Answer: BExplanation: Fifths disease, erythema infectiosum, is uncommon in adults. All the other statements are correct.
