When physically assessing the quality of the client's oxygenation, the
nurse should monitor the client's respiratory rate, check the symmetry
of the client's chest, and observe the breathing pattern and effort of
the client. The nurse should also auscultate for lung sounds.
Additional assessments include recording the heart rate and blood
pressure, determining the client's level of consciousness, and
observing the color of the skin, mucous membranes, lips, and nail
beds. During the physical assessment the nurse does not note the
amount of oxygen administered to the client, or check the device that
is used to deliver oxygen to the client.
Question 4 pts
A father of a preschool-age child tells the nurse that his child "has had a
constant cold since going to daycare." How would the nurse respond?
"Your child must have a health problem that needs medical care."
Correct!
"Children in daycare have more exposure to colds."
"Are you washing your hands before you touch the child?"
"Be sure and have your child wear a protective mask at school."
The preschool-age child's eustachian tubes, bronchi, and bronchioles
are elongated and less angular. Thus, the average number of routine
colds and infections increases when the child enters daycare or
school and is exposed more frequently to pathogens. The child does
not need additional protective masks for school nor needs medical
care. Hand hygiene should be encouraged but the nurse should not
question the father about this.

Question 5 pts
An emergency room nurse is auscultating the chest of a child who is having
an asthmatic attack. Auscultation reveals the presence of wheezes. During
what part of respirations do wheezes occur?
Correct! inspiration and expiration
only on inspiration
only on expiration
when coughing
Wheezes are continuous sounds heard on expiration and sometimes
on inspiration. They originate as air passes through airways
constricted by swelling (as in asthma), secretions, or tumors.
Question 6 pts
A nurse assesses the vital signs of a healthy newborn infant. What
respiratory rate could be expected based on the developmental level of this
client?
15 to 25 breaths/minute
16 to 20 breaths/minute
20 to 44 breaths/minute
Correct! 30 to 55 breaths/minute
