4.臨床看護学
答え: C · Reduce the oxygen to keep the SpO2 within the prescribed target range
これが答えになる理由
Oxygen is prescribed to a target range, usually 94–98% for most patients. Once the patient is stable it should be weaned down, as unnecessary hyperoxia has no benefit and can be harmful.
答え
C · Reduce the oxygen to keep the SpO2 within the prescribed target range
People with alcohol use disorder and malnutrition are often deficient in thiamine. Giving glucose first can use up the remaining thiamine and precipitate Wernicke encephalopathy, so thiamine is usually given before or with glucose. Hypoglycemia must still be treated promptly.
