4. Mr. Kee is intubated with a 7.5 mm orotracheal tube. He is in the ICU on a ventilator. The low-exhaled-volume alarm is sounding and Mr. Kee is phonating. His respiratory rate is 32 breaths/ minute, the heart rate is 122 bpm, and the pulse oximeter is 89 percent. You measure the cuff pressure to be 30 cm H2O, and the pilot tube and valve are intact. What would be your recommendations to remedy this situation?
7. The following are descriptions of each of the 4 patients being monitored in the ER. Use your analysis from above to match the description to each patient letter. ________27 year old female who had come to the hospital to give blood but who had begun to hyperventilate and momentarily blacked out. ________40 year old male with a history of peptic ulcer who has been vomiting for several days. He tells doctors he had taken a bunch of antacids for his ulcer. ________61 year old man with the diagnosis of severe pneumonia. ________30 year old female who has poorly controlled diabetes, with ketones in her urine, signs of lethargy and hyperventilation.
2. The patient has formula feedings through a feeding tube. The patient is given 200 mL every 4 hours (0400-0800-1200-1600-2000-2400) around the clock. The nurse gives 50 mL of water after each feeding. How much intake will the patient receive in the 2300 to 0700 (11 to 7) shift?
12. While sitting in the waiting room of a medical office, a patient falls when the chair gives way under him. The man is a very heavy person and chose to sit on a regular chair. There was a large chair available for him. The patient ends up in the hospital for observation and later for pneumonia related to his inactivity. Who is responsible for the pneumonia?
1. List 5 key precautions you must take when collecting blood samples for haemostatic investigations.?
10. A 45-year-old male is brought to the emergency department by emergency medical services after sustaining a gunshot wound to the abdomen. He is unresponsive. His temperature is 99°F (37.2°C). His blood pressure is 95/58 mmHg, pulse is 115/min, and respirations are 20/min. Physical examination reveals an entry wound in the left abdominal quadrant just inferior to the left costal margin. Abdominal CT suggests that the bullet is Lodged in a retroperitoneal structure. Which of the following structures has the bullet most likely penetrated? a. Sigmoid colon b. Superior duodenum c. Descending colon d. Transverse colon e. Ascending colon
4. A 54-year-old woman is brought to the emergency department because of a 30-minute history of severe chest pain. Her temperature is 37C (98.6F), pulse is110/min, respirations are 20/min, and blood pressure is 70/40 mm Hg. Physical examination shows cold, clammy skin. There is no urine output. Cardiac catheterization shows occlusion of the anterior interventricular (left anterior descending) artery and a markedly decreased cardiac output. A decrease in which of the following is most likely in this patient?A.Arterial H+ concentration O B. Mixed venous oxygen tension C. Pulmonary artery pressure D. Serum angiotensin |I concentration E. Serum epinephrine concentration F. Tissue lactate production
5. After counting platelets on both sides of the counting chamber, the technician got 210 and 235 respectively. If 20µl of blood was added to 1.98ml of the diluent, calculate in one (1) litre the number of platelet in the blood if the volume of the chamber is 0.02ml. Comment on the results.
9. A patient's cardiac output is measured as 5849.58 mL/min using the Fick's method. The spirometer measures an oxygen content in 600 mL of arterial blood. The spirometer measures 23.5 mL of oxygen for every 1000 mL of venous blood. If the oxygen uptake is 350 mL/min, find the oxygen content in 600 ml of arterial blood in ml.
