nursing assessment and intervention in deteriorating patient

Published

Hi all

I'm a 3rd year nursing student

I wonder if anyone can help me out with this questions

if a patient with MI is deteriorating; complaining about chest pain and difficulty in breathing, suspected complication pulmonary oedema.

what would you assess as a RN and what interventions would you initiate in that situation??

also, which health care team would you involve and collaborate?

i always thank for your help!

this is such a great site!!:clown:

It helps us experienced nurses to know what you are thinking. In your third year, you have many of the tools needed to work through at least some of this.

We don't want to rob students of the opportunity to grapple with the material and make it their own. If you share the progression of your reasoning, we know what kind of help you need. And you get the experience of supporting a rationale and integrating bits and pieces of knowledge.

So, based on the data you have posted, what assessments do you think are appropriate? And what interventional possibilities come to mind, and why would you consider them?

Start with the ABCs and you should be able to come up with a whole bunch of dx and interventions.
