Reаding Questiоn 16 - 17 “English expectаtiоns оf the New World аnd its inhabitants died hard. America was supposed to be a land of abundance, peopled by natives who would not only share that abundance with English but increase it under English direction. Englishmen simply did not envisage a need to work for the mere purpose of staying alive. The problem of survival as they saw it was at best political and at worst military. Although Englishmen long remained under the illusion that the Indians would eventually become useful English subjects, it became apparent fairly early that Indian labor was not going to sustain the founders of Jamestown”. Edmund Morgan, historian, “The Labor Problem at Jamestown, 1607 – 1618”, published in 1971 Question: Which of the following was a long-term result of the situation in Jamestown described in the excerpt?
R.B. is а 55-yeаr-оld wоmаn whо presented to the emergency department (ED) via ambulance for acute shortness of breath. Her daughter called an ambulance after finding her mother with an increased respiratory rate and shortness of breath. Upon arrival to the ED, R.B.'s respirations were 40 and shallow with wheezing in the lower lobes and rhonchi in the upper lobes bilaterally. She had positive jugular vein distention and a heart rate of 128. After treatment with albuterol nebulizer via mask, her vital signs were temperature 96.8˚F, pulse 98, respirations 28, blood pressure 148/84, and O2 saturation 94% with 15 LPM via mask. Arterial blood gasses showed her pH 7.19, pCO2 90, PO2 92%, HCO3 38. R.B. was intubated for hypercapnia. Foley catheter is placed. After an echocardiogram showed an ejection fraction less than 50%, she had an emergency left heart catheterization done with 2 stent placements into the left anterior descending artery. A pulmonary artery catheter was placed, and the initial hemodynamic readings show elevated left ventricular preload. R.B. is now being transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU). Subjective Data Lives with her single daughter, who cares for D.B. full time Daughter is not present at bedside Smokes 1 pack of cigarettes per day No longer active outside of the home because of her chronic illness Does not drink alcohol Objective Data Physical Assessment Orally intubated #8 endotracheal (ET) tube taped at 26 cm to lip Ventilator settings: FIO2 60%, tidal volume 700, assist control (A/C), rate 16, PEEP of 5 Height 5'5", weight 117 kg Alert and oriented to person, place, and time Fine crackles and wheezes bilateral lower lobes 2+ pitting edema bilateral lower extremities Diagnostic Studies Chest x-ray postintubation: ET tube 4 cm from carina. Infiltrates in both bases; left base is worse than right 12-lead ECG: ST elevation Troponin: 41.94 Lung V/Q scan negative for pulmonary embolism Urinalysis: dark yellow and cloudy, protein 28 mg/dL, positive for casts, positive for red blood cells and white blood cells, positive for glucose and ketones While you are charting, you hear vent alarms going off. You see the patient struggling. Question; After correctly intervening and stabilizing the patient, what diagnostics would be appropriate to reassess?
