Yоu аre the nurse cаring fоr а 7-year-оld who has been brought to the emergency department (ED) by his mother. The mother immediately tells you he has a history of ED visits for his asthma. He uses an inhaler when he wheezes, but it ran out a month ago. She is a single parent and has two other children at home with a babysitter. Your assessment finds the client alert, oriented, and extremely anxious. His color is pale, and his nail beds are dusky and cool to the touch; other findings are heart rate 136 beats/min, R (RR) 36 breaths/min regular and even, oral temperature T 99.1°F (37.3°C), Spo2 89%, breath sounds decreased in lower lobes bilaterally and congested with inspiratory and expiratory wheezes, prolonged expirations, and a productive cough. As you ask the client's mother questions, you note that the client's respiratory rate is increasing; he is sitting on the side of the bed, leaning slightly forward, and having difficulty breathing. You are concerned that he is experiencing status asthmaticus. You give the client the albuterol and Atrovent twice. His O2 saturation does not improve and remains at 88% with oxygen at 6 L/min via face mask. He says he “does not feel any better.” He is retracting and his respiration rate remains 34 breaths/minute. You have started his IV infusion and administered the methylprednisolone. The client's mother is pacing and tells you she very upset and worried. You overhead page the attending ED resident to assess, and you notify the patient-family advocate. The ED resident, Dr. S., arrives within 2 minutes to assess the client and to speak to his mother. New orders are pending. Document your actions and interventions for this patient and the patient’s response using the SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation) format.
