    This document discusses oxygenation and factors affecting respiratory function. It outlines terms related to ventilation such as tidal volume, lung compliance, and diffusion. Alterations in respiratory function include hypoxia, altered breathing patterns, and obstructed airways. Nursing assessment involves taking a history, physical exam, and diagnostics to determine diagnoses like ineffective airway clearance. Planning focuses on maintaining a patent airway, improving gas exchange, and participation in activities. Implementation methods to promote oxygenation include positioning, breathing exercises, hydration, medications, and various airway clearance techniques and devices.

    Oxygenation

    Terms:
    Ventilation- act of breathing.
    Inspiration- inhalation
    Expiration- exhalation
    Intrapleural Pressure- pressure in the pleural
    cavity surrounding the lungs
    Intrapulmonary pressure- pressure within the
    lungs
    Tidal volume- air inspired and expired during
    breathing
    Lung compliance- the expansibility or stretch
    ability of the lung tissue
    Atelectasis- lung collapse
    Lung recoil- the continual tendency of the lungs to
    collapse away from the chest wall
    Surfactant- reduces surface tension of alveolar fluid
    Diffusion- movement from higher concentration to
    lower concentration
    Partial pressure- the pressure exerted by gases
    according to its concentration
    Hematocrit- the percentage of the blood that is
    erythrocytes
