Question
- A nurse is reviewing the health records of clients. Which client is at least risk fordeveloping acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)?(a) A client who experienced a near-drowning incident in freshwater(b) A client following coronary artery bypass graft surgery(c) A client who has a hemoglobin of 10.1 mg/dL post 1-unit PRBC(d) A client who is experiencing acute pancreatitis and vomiting
Solution
(c) A client who has a hemoglobin of 10.1 mg/dL post 1-unit PRBC
This client is at least risk for developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ARDS is a severe lung condition that causes low oxygen levels in the blood. It can be triggered by many things, but common causes include severe injuries, infections, or inhalation of harmful substances.
(a) A client who experienced a near-drowning incident in freshwater is at risk because water inhalation can severely damage the lungs and trigger ARDS.
(b) A client following coronary artery bypass graft surgery is at risk because surgery, especially for the heart and major blood vessels, can sometimes cause ARDS.
(d) A client who is experiencing acute pancreatitis and vomiting is at risk because severe pancreatitis can cause ARDS.
On the other hand, a client who has a hemoglobin of 10.1 mg/dL post 1-unit PRBC is not directly at risk of ARDS from this condition. Hemoglobin levels do not directly contribute to ARDS. While low hemoglobin levels can cause problems with oxygen transport in the body, it's not a direct cause of ARDS.
