A patient is prescribed sustained-release oral nitroglycerin capsules for chronic stable angina. The nurse should include which instruction?

As part of the standard operating procedure on an older analyzer, one of the monthly activities includes running multiple samples multiple times using the same kit lot of reagent.  This is called: 

Match the symbol to the appropriate description. 

A kit for PTH has been showing some shifts in QC over the last two weeks. The same scientist tests another kit using the same procedure with the same samples to compare QC results and they are discordant.  This is called: 

A patient is intubated due to hypercapnic respiratory failure from an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The patient is now breathing on the vent with a set PEEP of 5 cm H2O. The patient is unable to flow trigger every inspiration. Unintended positive end-expiratory pressure (auto-PEEP) is measured at 10 cm H2O. After optimizing vent settings such as flow shape, Ti, f, and VT, the most appropriate action to take is which of the following?

5’9″ Female intubated patient VC VMV VT 400 mL RR 14 bpm FIO2 30% PEEP 5 cm H20 Ti 1.3 sec descending flow What is her IDBW Answer in the following format XX.X kg

A 36-year-old female patient with a history of asthma is admitted to the ICU from the emergency department  and placed on nasal cannula 6 L/min. The patient is 5’5″ and weighs 135 lb. Respirations are 33 bpm, very labored, with accessory muscle use and bilateral inspiratory and expiratory wheezing. There is bilateral hyper resonance during chest percussion. after 1 hour of continuous aerosolized albuterol (15 mg) reveals:  pH 7.32 (PaCO2) 45 mm Hg (PaO2) 53 mm Hg (SaO2) 88% (HCO3-) 25 mEq/L  The most appropriate action at this time is which of the following?

A patient is receiving mechanical ventilation with a fractional inspired oxygen (FIO2) of 0.85 and a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 cm H2O. His arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) is 68 mm Hg, arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) is 88%, and partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PetCO2) is 32 mm Hg. Over the next few minutes his PEEP is titrated resulting in the following data: Time FIO2 PEEP (cm H2O) SpO2 (%) PetCO2 (mm Hg) 0600 0.85 5 88 30 0630 0.85 8 88 30 0650 0.85 10 90 32 0720 0.80 12 93 34 0740 0.80 15 90 25 what action should the respiratory therapist take at this time?
