If the patient’s chest is not inflating during the breathing task you should check the patient’s:

While caring for a patient with a pulmonary artery catheter, the nurse notes the pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP) to be significantly higher than previously recorded values. The nurse assesses respirations to be unlabored at 16 breaths/min, oxygen saturation of 98% on 3 L of oxygen via nasal cannula, and lungs clear to auscultation bilaterally. What is the priority nursing action?Not quite, you're still learning!Increase supplemental oxygen and notify respiratory therapy.Notify the physician immediately of the assessment findings.Obtain a stat chest x-ray film to verify proper catheter placement.Zero reference and level the catheter at the phlebostatic axis.

Assessment of breathing should be by:a. Listen for chest sounds with a stethoscopeb. Use of a respiratory volume devicec. Check oxygen saturation %d. The use of the 'Look Listen Feel' method

What happens to your chest pressure when you breathe in?

What is the best way to check if a person is breathing before performing Hands-Only CPR? Look for chest motion and watch for the person breathing. Pinch the nose closed and see if the person gasps while breathing. Tilt the person's head and check for gasping or heavy breathing. Use a mirror under the nose to check for condensation from breathing.

6) A client has been admitted with chest trauma after a motor vehicle crash and hasundergone subsequent intubation. The nurse checks the client when thehighpressure alarm on the ventilator sounds and notes that the client has an absenceof breath sounds in the right upper lobe of the lung. The nurse immediately assessesfor other signs of which condition?(a) Right pneumothorax(b) Pulmonary embolism(c) Displaced endotracheal tube(d) Acute respiratory distress syndrome
