Question 9:

Which clients should the nurse monitor closely for the manifestations of multiple Organ Dysfunction syndromes(MODS)?

• Client with diabetic ketoacidosis
• Client with acute respiratory failure
• Client with Sepsis

Rationale:

Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome is a dysfunction of two or more organs that threatens life. Diabetic ketoacidosis is a condition where there is a decreased insulin level followed by a high blood sugar level which affects the acid-base balance of the body. This leads to nausea, dehydration, unconsciousness, and multiple organ dysfunction results in shock. Acute respiratory failure affects the distal organs followed by the injury of alveolar cells. In addition, mechanical ventilation also affects the distal organ due to decreased cardiac output, decreased level of oxygenation. Sepsis is the infection of blood which affects hemostasis level of the body and leads to death.
