Answer 1

Q. No.1. Answer :

Effects of patients levels of health, age, life style and environment on oxygenation :

OXYGINATION: it is defined as an addition of oxygen to any system.

Or it is a process of treating of the patient with oxygen and by adding some medication, or other substances with oxygen.

* if the patient health is affected that means unhealthy like any chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, it may effect the oxygenation levels in the body.

Due to oxygenation demand it may taken place.

* if the age increases the cells which are presenting in the body especially related to lungs or respiratory system  those functions may decreases so that the oxygen carrying capacity may decreases.

* life style means having a habits like smoking and if the persons are working in occupational industries, there is a chance to development of breathing problems.

* The pollution environment may decreases the oxygen supply to our body, so oxygen demand may increases.

Perfusion means passage of blood or other blood substitutes through the blood vessels to the body tissues and organs.

If these health, age, lifestyles leads to there is a lack of oxygen leads to decreased perfusion, may seen.

Q. No. 2. Answer :

Nursing care interventions to promote oxygenation in the primary care, acute care, restorative and continuing care :

* comfortable position like semifowlers, with the support of pillows, may increases the normal breathing.

* oxygen administration with nasal cannula 2 l per minute.

* steam inhalation with carval plus.

* deep breathing exercises.

* providing bed rest.
