Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A)An expected outcome for a client being treated for ARDS is maintaining an oxygen saturation of greater than 90%. The newborn diagnosed with ARDS with an oxygen saturation of 92% is improving. Increased PaCO₂, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, and thick secretions from the respiratory tract are indicative of continued distress. B)An expected outcome for a client being treated for ARDS is maintaining an oxygen saturation of greater than 90%. The newborn diagnosed with ARDS with an oxygen saturation of 92% is improving. Increased PaCO₂, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, and thick secretions from the respiratory tract are indicative of continued distress.
