What fluid and electrolyte disturbances commonly occur and why? Soidum and potassium due to the amount of water loss 4. What acid-base disturbances commonly occur and why? Metabolic acidosis due to low serum bicarbonate and low pH from the body’s metabolic process 5. Describe the medical management and nursing management

Question 1. A. AIRWAY– Maintaining a clear airway is always considered a high priority because airway is essential for gas exchange (Ramkumar‚ 2011). However‚ the patient has a patent airway. Therefore‚ the nursing strategy is to conduct an airway assessment “look‚ listen and feel” continuously to detect any changes. This is to provide immediate respiratory care if the patient’s airway is compromised (Higginson‚ Jones & Davies‚ 2011). This is a low priority. B. BREATHING – Respiration is altered

Excretion. a) excretion is the removal or metabolic waste from the body. Metabolic waste consists of waste substances that may be toxic or are produced n excess by reactions inside cells. b) Explain the importance of removing metabolic wastes‚ including carbon dioxide and nitrogenous waste‚ from the body. The are many substances that need to be excreted - almost any cell product that is formed in excess by the chemical process occurring in the cells must be excreted. However there are two

The Respiratory System is crucial to every human being. Without it‚ we would cease to live outside of the womb. Let us begin by taking a look at the structure of the respiratory system and how vital it is to life. During inhalation or exhalation air is pulled towards or away from the lungs‚ by several cavities‚ tubes‚ and openings. The organs of the respiratory system make sure that oxygen enters our bodies and carbon dioxide leaves our bodies. The respiratory tract is the path of air from the
