Eldon martin is a 75-year-old retired marine corps officer. he smoked cigarettes most of his adult life, but quit 10 years ago when he learned he had allergy-induced asthmatic lung disease. he comes to the hospital today with a high fever, productive cough, and pain in his chest. he is diagnosed with pneumonia. what additional assessment findings would be important for the nurse to gather in relation to oxygenation concerns? select all that apply. a. pulse oximetry readingb. arterial blood gasc. normal dietd. lung soundse. number of years of smoking

Answers are A,B,D and E.

Explanation:

Pulse oximetry readings are helpful in determining the oxygen level of the blood, Oxygen level less then 90% is indication for pneumonia.

Arterial Blood gas test measures the oxygenation, pH and CO2 pressure level in blood of arteries. Low oxygen level and low CO2 pressure is indication for pneumonia.

Lung sounds such as Rales and rhonchi are indicator of pneumonia.

Number of years of smoking helps to determine the risk level for a disease.

picture a world where computers are building made-to-order personalized robotic arms and synthetic organs, drones are circulating above mars! due to the rapid growth of technology, the future has never been more unpredictable, and it presents a huge challenge in education: we are teaching students how to work in a future that we have never been unsure of. it is widely predicted that in eight years’ time, there will be more jobs in the fields of science, mathematics, technology and engineering than in any other discipline. and, as the technology continues to develop, it will soon become clear that addressing social problems will involve more innovative thinking, and analytical and technical knowledge than ever before. undeniably, there are no subjects that encourage innovative and creative thinking, deep thought, problem solving and independence more than the stem subjects. while it is widely commented on that there is a need to reimagine the ways stem subjects are taught in schools by embracing a more interactive and innovative approach to appeal to more students, it should come as no surprise that some of the most reputable educational organizations in the world are already implementing changes to embrace stem. harvard, for example, announced in 2014 that they were increasing their computer science faculty by over 50% and has since introduced computer science as a core subject for all freshmen. the urgency of supporting stem subjects at a young age is becoming more relevant than ever, as adopting a keen interest in the curricula needs to happen early. however, beyond the age issue is one of gender.
