Which of the following clients is at risk for developing acute respiratory failure?

Ans: A
Feedback:
Acute respiratory failure may occur in previously healthy persons as the result of acute disease or trauma involving the respiratory system, or it may develop in the course of a chronic neuromuscular or lung disease. ALS is a neurodegenerative disease with various causes. It is characterized by rapidly progressive weakness due to muscle atrophy and muscle spasticity and difficulty in speaking (dysarthria), swallowing (dysphagia), and breathing (dyspnea). A common cold, strep throat, or sharing toys in daycare will not necessarily place one at risk for respiratory failure.

What an excellent community, thanks for answering
