Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has acute respiratory failure (ARF). The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following manifestations of this condition? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B,C
Rationale:
Correct Answer: B (Decreased level of consciousness) and C (Severe dyspnea)
Rationale:
1. Decreased level of consciousness: In acute respiratory failure, inadequate oxygenation can lead to hypoxemia, affecting brain function and causing confusion or altered mental status.
2. Severe dyspnea: ARF is characterized by rapid, shallow breathing and difficulty breathing, leading to severe dyspnea as the body tries to compensate for the lack of oxygen.
3. Hypotension (
A): While hypotension can occur in ARF due to poor perfusion, it is not a direct manifestation of the condition itself.
4. Headache (
D) and Nausea (E): These symptoms are not typically associated with ARF and are more commonly seen in other conditions.
