53) After the respiratory therapist performs suctioning on a patient who is intubated, the nursing assistant measures vital signs for the patient. Which vital sign value should the nursing assistant report to the registered nurse immediately? • Blood pressure of 168/90 mm Hg • Heart rate of 98 beats/min • Tympanic temperature of 101.4°F (38.6°C) • Respiratory rate of 24 breaths/min
Added by Stella O.
Step 1
A blood pressure of 168/90 mm Hg is high and could indicate hypertension, which can lead to serious health problems like heart disease and stroke. Secondly, the normal range for heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute. A heart rate of 98 beats/min is within the Show more…

A nurse practitioner orders isotonic sodium lactate $50 . \mathrm{mL} / \mathrm{kg}$ body mass to be administered intravenously for a 139 -lb patient with severe acidosis. The rate of flow is 150 gtts/min, and the IV administration set delivers $20 .$ gtts/mL, where the unit "gtts" stands for drops of liquid. What is the running time in minutes?

ALLIED HEALTH A patient's tidal volume, in milliliters (mL) per breath, is the quotient of his or her minute volume (mL/min) and his or her respiratory rate (breaths/min). Report the tidal volume for an adult, female patient whose minute volume is $7,500 \mathrm{mL} / \mathrm{min}$ if her respiratory rate is 12 breaths/min.
