because CF occurs throughout the lifespan each question requires an answer that applies to infants, children, adolescents, and adults.

the first question i couldnt really find in the book. the rest is just confusing. please just try to help summarize so I can study these.

1. what is normal respiratory rate? pulse? Oxygen saturation?

for:

infants

children

adolescents

adults

(With CF)

2. what are signs and symptoms of adequate oxygenation? perfusion?

for:

infants

children

adolescents

adults

3. what are signs and symptoms of poor oxygenation? perfusion?

for:

infants

children

adolescents

adults

4. what assessment techniques are necessary?

for:

infants

children

adolescents

adults

Answer 1

1- Respiratory Rate and oxygen saturation.

Infants- 30-60 beats per minute,100%

Children-24-40 beats per minute,100 %

Adolscents-13-17 beats per minute,100%

Adults--12-16 beats per minute,93-100%

2- Adequate oxygenation means sufficient flow to meet the metyabolic needs.

3- Cyanosis,Numbness and tingling in extrimities,cold hands and feet,swelling in the lower extrimities.

Cognitive dysfunction,digestive problems,fatigue.

4-Oxygen perfusion may be assessed by clinical assessment ,pulse oximetry and arterial blood gas.
