Explanation / Answer

Question 1: correct answer c rational: whenever the patient is desaturating with ventilator immediately disconnect the ventilator and attach with bag and that provide maximum oxygen support and sudden relief in saturation.. other three actions are unnecessary...

Question 2: the correct answer is shortness of breath.. the symptoms are felt by the patient example:shortn sho of breath, painin the abdomen etc.. other options are indicating signs of the patient..
