A client with acute respiratory failure (ARF) may present with which of the following manifestations? (Select one that doesn't apply.)
- A. Severe dyspnea
- B. Decreased level of consciousness
- C. Headache
- D. Nausea
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In acute respiratory failure (ARF), the body is not getting enough oxygen, leading to respiratory distress. Symptoms of ARF typically include severe dyspnea (difficulty breathing), decreased level of consciousness due to hypoxia, and headache from inadequate oxygenation to the brain. Nausea is not a typical manifestation of ARF and would not be expected in this condition.

On examination the hands and feet of a 6 hours old infant is cyanotic without signs of distress. The nurse should document these findings as:
- A. Potential for respiratory distress
- B. Poor oxygenation
- C. Cold stress
- D. Acrocyanosis
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Acrocyanosis is a condition commonly seen in newborns where the hands and feet appear blue or purple in color due to decreased circulation in the peripheral blood vessels. It is usually a normal finding in newborns and is not associated with distress or poor oxygenation. Unlike central cyanosis which indicates a more serious underlying issue affecting oxygen levels in the blood, acrocyanosis is a benign and self-limiting condition. It is important for the nurse to recognize and document acrocyanosis to differentiate it from other potentially concerning conditions.
