1-. Answer B. A positive reaction means the client has been exposed to T!9 it isn*t
conclusive of the presence of active disease. A positive reaction consists of palpable
swelling and induration of - to 1- mm. It can be read 0> to ;% hours after the inDection. In
clients with positive reactions, further studies are usually done to rule out active disease.In immunosuppressed clients, a negative reaction doesn*t exclude the presence of active
disease.
1. Answer A.In a client with emphysema, albuterol is used as a bronchodilator. Arespiratory rate of %% breaths3minute indicates that the drug has achieved its therapeutic
effect because fewer respirations are re+uired to achieve oxygenation. Albuterol has no
effect on pupil reaction or urine output. It may cause a change in the heart rate, but this isan adverse, not therapeutic, effect.

respirations8 don*t cause excessive ":% loss. (yasthenia gravis and narcotic overdose
suppress the respiratory drive, causing ":% retention, not ":% loss9 this may lead to
respiratory acidosis, not al. Answer D. The client is hypoxemic because of bronchoconstriction as evidenced by
whee&es and a subnormal arterial oxygen saturation level. The client*s greatest need isbronchodilation, which can be accomplished by administering bronchodilators. Albuterol
is a beta% adrenergic agonist, which causes dilation of the bronchioles. It*s given bynebuli&ation or metered5dose inhalation and may be given as often as every )/ to /
minutes until relief is accomplished. Alpra&olam is an anxiolytic and central nervous
system depressant, which could suppress the client*s breathing. ropranolol iscontraindicated in a client who*s whee&ing because it*s a beta% adrenergic antagonist.
(orphine is a respiratory center depressant and is contraindicated in this situation.
%B. Answer C. The client with ":# retains carbon dioxide, which inhibits stimulation of
breathing by the medullary center in the brain. As a result, low oxygen levels in the blood
stimulate respiration, and administering unspecified, unmonitored amounts of oxygenmay depress ventilation. To promote ade+uate gas exchange, the nurse should use a
enturi mas< to deliver a specified, controlled amount of oxygen consistently andaccurately. #rin
