i am a first year nursing student and i have an assignment on a case study of a lady with asthma. i am asked to concentrate on her respiratory problems relating to impaired gas exchange.
i am having real dificultly understand this, and actually writing answers to the question. help would be much appreciated.
questions are:
-explain why impaired gas exchange occurs in asthma ie: identify the pathophysiological processes that occur in asthma and explain how these processes impair gas exchange.
- why the signs and symptoms occur when gas exchange is impaired
- identify priorities ie: explain whats goals of nursing care should be met first and why
i have been searching for so long for information, just not sure whats exactly relevant.
my main problem is apply the information to answers.
