Answer 1

-Diaphoretic and unable to catch her breath you notice swelling in lower extremities you suspect:

Acute coronary syndrome

[The patient is presenting with signs and indications of acute coronary syndrome. This is an obstruction of a coronary artery. The obstruction is stopping the heart muscle to obtain adequate quantities of oxygen.]

-The reason for assessing the radial and the carotid pulses simultaneously is to:

check a patient's pulse through a CPR procedure

[The carotid artery is the main artery of the neck which transmits blood to the head. The carotid arteries can be measured or palpated on apiece side of the neck, side of the larynx.]

-a 15 year old male us short of breath after a minor car collision, he has a history of asthma, vital signs are R26 and clear bilaterally, what should you do ?

If shortness of breath endures for more than a specific time, it is measured as chronic. Shortness of breath also can originate on abruptly. Breathlessness is an indication of many dissimilar circumstances, so the medical history and a physical examination will deliver significant signs to the reason. Currently the patient needs nebulization to calm down.

-As the diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax, the chest cavity:

While breathing in, the diaphragm contracts and changes descending. This upsurges the space in the chest cavity, into which the lungs enlarge. The intercostal muscles amid your ribs also assist to increase the chest cavity. They contract to tug the rib cage together rising and outward when inhaling.
