Case Study Question #4: The nurse is admitting the client that just arrived at the ED who has the following assessment: B/P=92/50 RR=25 breaths/min. SPO2=92% Pulse=123 beats/min. Temp.=99.1F (32.2C) Respiratory: Coarse Rhonchi bi-lateral lower lobes, increased work of breathing, productive cough with copious sputum Neuro: A & O X 4, appears fatigued Pain: 6 (0-10 scale) with cough The nurse reassesses the client at the 2 hour mark and notes the following: B/P=88/48 RR=26 breaths/min. SPO2=91% Pulse=125 beats/min. Temp.=100.2F (38C) Respiratory: Coarse Rhonchi bi-lateral lower lobes, decreasing ability to cough and profound shortness of breath Neuro: Lethargy, Alert to person only Pain: moans with painful stimulus ABG: pH 7.30, CO2 50, HCO3 26, PaO2 60 Question: Which of the following priority actions should the nurse perform next? Select all that apply.
