If a patient asks you what subcutaneous means What is your answer?
You would tell the patient first that it doesn't and won't cause too much pain. Second, you tell the patient the definition, which is 'located or placed just beneath the skin'. By telling the patient it doesn't hurt, the patient won't freak out about anything, and because it is just beneath the skin, it's about as deep as a normal cut.

What is a goal for impaired gas exchange?
This would depend on the patient's reason for impaired gas exchange. A physician would treat the underlying cause. For example, antibiotics for pneumonia. For nurses, nursing interventions for impaired gas exchange can be implemented regardless of medical diagnosis. In addition to carrying out the physician's orders, nurses can keep the head of the bed elevated at least 30 degrees to facilitate breathing. They can also teach the patient coughing and deep breathing exercises or help them to use the incentive spirometer. If the patient has impaired gas exchange because of too many secretions, the nurse should be prepared to suction the patient as needed. Depending on the situation, and ambu-bag should be available in case the patient goes into respiratory distress. Frequent assessment of oxygen saturation, lung sounds, and respiratory effort is important as well, so that the nurse can be in contact with the doctor and increase supplemental oxygen levels, or change other orders, as needed. All of this depends on the individual patient. These are general interventions for impaired gas exchange, but nurses and doctors must tailor care to individual patients.
