Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,C,E,H

The nurse anticipates the following orders from the provider based on the suspected diagnosis:

A. IV antibiotics: To treat the suspected infection.
C. Chest x-ray: To assess the lungs for signs of infection, such as pneumonia.
E. Admit to inpatient: The client's worsening condition and need for aggressive treatment warrant hospitalization.
H. Complete blood count: To assess the client's overall health status and identify any abnormalities, such as anemia or infection.

Rationale:

B. Urinalysis: While a urinalysis can be helpful in assessing for urinary tract infections, it is not a priority in this case.
D. Chest tube placement: This is not indicated unless the client develops a pleural effusion or pneumothorax.
F. Airborne precautions: This is not necessary for the client's current condition.
G. Draw an STI lab panel: While this may be relevant for the client's overall health, it is not a priority at this time, especially given the client's acute presentation.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Fusion Inhibitors work by preventing the virus from entering the host's cells but do not inhibit RNA from forming DNA.
B. Integrase Inhibitors block the integration of viral DNA into the host's DNA but do not directly inhibit the reverse transcription process.
C. Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs) inhibit reverse transcriptase, the enzyme responsible for converting viral RNA into DNA, thus directly targeting this crucial stage of the HIV lifecycle.
D. Protease Inhibitors inhibit the protease enzyme involved in the maturation of the virus but do not affect the reverse transcription process.

A. Respiratory acidosis B. Metabolic acidosis C. Metabolic alkalosis D. Respiratory alkalosis

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Respiratory acidosis is indicated by the low pH (7.22) and elevated PaCO2 (68 mm Hg), demonstrating that CO2 is retained due to hypoventilation (as seen with a respiratory rate of 7/min). The bicarbonate level is within normal range, suggesting no metabolic compensation is present.
B. Metabolic acidosis would be indicated by a low pH and low bicarbonate level, which is not the case here since the bicarbonate is normal at 26 mEq/L.
C. Metabolic alkalosis would present with a high pH and high HCO3, which does not match these values.
D. Respiratory alkalosis would show a high pH and low PaCO2, which is contrary to the provided ABG results.
