admitting a patient in possible respiratory failure with a high PaCO2, which assessment information will be of most concern to the nurse? ANS: A DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: 1751 A patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute renal failure has the following medications prescribed.

discuss with the health care provider before administration?

Chronic respiratory failure can often be treated at home. If you have serious chronic respiratory failure, you may need treatment in a long-term care center.
Which drug is effective in acute ventilatory failure?Bronchodilators are an important component of treatment in respiratory failure caused by obstructive lung disease. These agents act to decrease muscle tone in both small and large airways in the lungs. This category includes beta-adrenergics, methylxanthines, and anticholinergics.
How do you determine ventilatory failure?A doctor may diagnose you with respiratory failure based on the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in your blood, a physical exam to see how fast and shallow your breathing is and how hard you are working to breathe, as well as the results of lung function tests.
How would you know if a patient is in ventilatory failure?When ventilatory failure is due to increased load, signs include vigorous use of accessory ventilatory muscles, tachypnea, tachycardia, diaphoresis, anxiety, declining tidal volume, irregular or gasping breathing patterns, and paradoxical abdominal motion.
