CARE PLAN

OXYGENATION
ASSESSMENT
Mr. King’s physician diagnosed him with an
upper respiratory infection. He is restless and
anxious and has continuing dyspnea, and a
productive cough, with dark yellow sputum.
On auscultation there are audible expiratory
wheezes, crackles, and diminished breath
sounds over right lower lobe. His vital signs
are pulse rate 120, temp 102 deg F, increased
respiratory rate 36, BP 110/45 and an SpO2
of 82%. As the day progresses Mary notices
that his coughs are weaker, less sputum is
produced, and Mr. King is becoming more
fatigued.
NURSING DIAGNOSIS

Ineffective airway clearance


related to increased
secretions
PLANNING
GOAL EXPECTED OUTCOMES
 Pulmonary  Patient’s sputum will be clear,
secretions will white and thinner consistency
return to within 36hours.
baseline levels  Patient’s lung sounds will be
within 24 to 36 at baseline within 36 hours.
hours.  Patient’s respiratory rate will
be between 16 and 24 within
24 hours.
 Patient will be able to clear
airway secretions by coughing
in 24 hours.
 Patient’s SpO2 will be >85%
within 24 hours.
 Patient’s perceptions of
dyspnea will improve.

EVALUATION
 Ask Mr. King about the color of his
sputum.
 Auscultate lungs for adventitious lung
sounds.
 Ask Mr. King to rate his perception of
dyspnea, using a visual analog scale.
 Ask Mr. King if he is able to cough and
expectorate his secretions.
 Obtain vital signs and SpO2 measures.
Case
 Juan Paolo admitted to ER for
morphine drug overdose. He is
lethargic and stuporous; T98.9,
P120, R13 and very shallow. ABG
results: pH 7.28, PaCO2 49mm Hg
and HCO3 25 mEq/l.
 Identify priority nursing diagnosis
and interventions.
ABG Interpretation
 Look at pH, normal 7.35-7.45
 Look at PaCO2. more than 45 mm
Hg, less CO2 is being exhaled than
normal.
 Look at HCO3, normal 22-26; with
acidosis and retained CO2 is causing
respiratory acidosis. Uncompensated.
