Which should the nurse do? Select all that apply.

Increase the fraction of inspired oxygen

Suggest a different ventilator mode to the provider

Offer the client ice chips

Set the ventilator to give mandatory breaths

Set up supplemental oxygen delivery

Gather supplies for extubation

Place a nasogastric tube

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : B,E,F

A.   Since the client is already on a fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) of 35% and has successfully weaned off the ventilator, increasing the FIO2 may not be necessary unless the client's oxygenation status deteriorates post-extubation.
B.   As the client has successfully weaned off pressure support and is now at 0 cm H2O, the healthcare provider may consider transitioning to a different ventilator mode such as T-piece or CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) to further assess the client's ability to breathe spontaneously without ventilator support.
C.   Ice chips are typically offered to conscious patients to alleviate thirst or dry mouth. The client was previously intubated and may not be fully conscious or able to swallow safely immediately post- extubation.
D.   Since the client has been weaned off pressure support successfully, there is no indication to set the ventilator to provide mandatory breaths. The focus is on assessing the client's ability to breathe spontaneously.
E.   Even though the client has been weaned off the ventilator, it's important to ensure adequate oxygenation. Setting up supplemental oxygen delivery, such as via nasal cannula or face mask, can support the client's oxygen needs during the transition phase post-extubation.
F.   Since the client has been successfully weaned to 0 cm H2O pressure support and the healthcare provider is evaluating the client, gathering supplies for potential extubation is appropriate. This includes ensuring all necessary equipment and supplies for a safe extubation procedure are readily available at the bedside.
G.   Unless specifically indicated for other medical reasons not mentioned, there is no immediate need to place a nasogastric tube based on the information provided about the client's current condition post- weaning.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Rationale

A. This statement is partially true as most sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including syphilis, are primarily transmitted through sexual intercourse. However, not all STIs are exclusively transmitted through sexual contact.

B. Syphilis is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum and can be transmitted through direct contact with a syphilitic sore (chancre) during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. If a person has syphilis and engages in unprotected sex with a partner who is not treated, they can potentially contract or transmit the infection again, leading to reinfection.

C. While contraceptives such as condoms provide protection against unintended pregnancy and some STIs, including syphilis, they do not offer complete protection against all STIs. Condoms are effective in reducing the risk of transmission of syphilis when used consistently and correctly, but they are not 100% protective.

D. Using safe sex practices, such as consistent and correct use of condoms, reduces the risk of acquiring or transmitting STIs, including syphilis. Safe sex practices also include mutual monogamy and regular testing for STIs, especially for those who have multiple sexual partners or engage in high-risk sexual behaviors.

A. Blood pressure 90/62 mm Hg B. Oxygen saturation of 89% C. Fundus rotated to the right D. Voided 200 mL of clear yellow urine E. Oxygen saturation of 89% F. IV infusing at 125 ml/hr

Correct Answer is ["A","B","C"]

Explanation

Blood pressure 90/62 mm Hg

A blood pressure of 90/62 mm Hg indicates hypotension, which could be indicative of hypovolemia (low blood volume) due to postpartum hemorrhage. Hypotension needs immediate evaluation and intervention to prevent further complications.

Oxygen saturation of 89%

An oxygen saturation of 89% on room air is below the normal range (typically 95-100%). This suggests the client is not adequately oxygenating, which could be due to various reasons such as respiratory compromise or inadequate ventilation. Immediate follow-up is necessary to determine the cause and initiate appropriate interventions.

Fundus rotated to the right

The displacement of the fundus could be due to the presence of a distended bladder pushing the uterus to one side which may increase uterine atony.
