The next day laboratory data are available from AM draws with the following: Hb – 15 mEq/L Na – 138  BUN – 13 Hct – 45% K – 3.9 Creatinine – 0.8 WBC – 16,000 Cl – 99 Plt – 200 CO2 – 30 Glu- 85   Patient still has bilateral wheezing with bilateral I:E rhonchi and crackles. ETS for moderate amount of semi thick yellow secretions. Sputum cultures returned with positive growth. Vitals are:Pulse – 120Resp rate – 32BP – 130/88SpO2 – 91%   What would you recommend at this time to resolve these problems?
