On assessment she is tachypneic,feels short of breathe with some chest pain. On exam you find she is slightly diaphoretic, has mildly increased work of breathing and is speaking in full sentences. Initial vitals: HR 140, RR 32, SpO2 85% on RA, BP 95/55, Temp 37.0. On auscultation breath sounds are audible and relatively clear throughout, pulses are weak but palpable radially, and her level of consciousness is normal.
