Rationale 1: This is an example of type II hypoxemic hypercapneic failure because this condition interferes with the musculoskeletal or anatomical lung function.
Rationale 2: The post-op patient can develop atelectasis if respiratory hygiene is not done. Atelectasis is a transportation issue that diminishes the oxygen transportation by fluid accumulation and is not a type II hypoxemic hypercapneic failure.
Rationale 3: This is an example of type II hypoxemic hypercapneic failure because this condition interferes with the musculoskeletal or anatomical lung function.
Rationale 4: This is an example of type II hypoxemic hypercapneic failure because this condition interferes with the musculoskeletal or anatomical lung function.
Rationale 5: Aspiration pneumonia is not an example of type II hypoxemic hypercapneic failure.
