Assessment & Reasoning


Respiratory System


John Franklin, 35 years old


Suggested Respiratory Nursing Assessment Skills to Be Demonstrated: • Inspection: Client positioning – tripod, position of comfort; (face) nasal flaring, pursed lips, color of face, lips;


(posterior)level of scapula – rise evenly, use of accessory muscles anterior/posterior, sternal/intercostal


retractions. Quality and pattern of respirations.


• Palpation: (posterior) down the back sequentially checking for tenderness/pain, warmth, crepitus & fremitus (best with ball of hand), chest wall expansion(symmetry) – thumbs over spine and fingers spread like butterfly


wings-pneumonia, pneumothorax. Assess for masses, bulges, muscle tone


• Percussion: Across and down back for resonance vs hyperresonance (pneumothorax), dullness (pneumonia). Avoid percussing over bone.


• Auscultation: Posterior - down the back sequentially from C7 (lung apex) to T10; anterior - above clavicles to sixth rib (xiphoid); flanks from axillae to 8th rib. Ladder type sequence moving right to left for comparison.


Listen for full inspirations and expiration.


• Palpation, percussion and auscultation follow same pattern and avoids scapula and spine (posterior) and mammary tissue (anteriorly) – assess as close to chest wall as possible. Compare left to right for aeration =


Make Learning Active! • Role play or go through the interview/body assessment process – student to student or as a group.


• Review the case study as an application exercise in small groups or together as a class.


• Depending on your program some of this content in the case study may not have been taught. Do not let that prevent you from utilizing this case study! Instead use it to promote learning by having students


identify what they do not yet know and provide guidance to where they can find the information in the


textbook or on the internet to address knowledge gaps. This is educational best practice and another way


to scaffold knowledge!

Present Problem: John Franklin is a 35-year-old African American male who has a history of hypertension and asthma who smokes ½ ppd since the age of eighteen. He began to feel more short of breath after supper today and began to have a persistent non-


productive cough. He ran out of his albuterol inhaler two months ago and has audible expiratory wheezing when he


comes to the triage window of the emergency department (ED).


John is promptly brought to a room in the ED and you are the nurse responsible for his care.


What data from the present problem are RELEVANT and must be interpreted as clinically significant by the nurse? (Reduction of Risk Potential)


RELEVANT Data from Present Problem: Clinical Significance:


What is the RELATIONSHIP of your patient’s past medical history (PMH) and current meds?


(Which medication treats which condition? Draw lines to connect.)

What vital signs are abnormal? What is the reason (pathophysiology) for these findings? (Reduction of Risk Potential/Health Promotion and Maintenance)

RELEVANT Assessment Data: Clinical Significance:


Put it All Together and Think Like a Nurse!


1. Interpreting relevant clinical data, what is the primary problem? What body system(s) will you assess most thoroughly based on the primary/priority concern?


What’s the


problem?


What’s causing the problem?


(explain pathophysiology in OWN words)


PRIORITY Body


System to Assess:


2. Which specific nursing assessments for this body system are most important? Validate successful completion of each nursing assessment on a manikin (if available) identified with peer or faculty initials.


PRIORITY Nursing Assessments: Rationale: Validate Student


Performance:


Current Assessment:


GENERAL: Appears anxious, body tense, brows furrowed RESP: Coarse inspiratory and expiratory wheezing with prolonged expiratory phase, labored breathing,


diminished aeration in bases, subcostal retractions present


CARDIAC: Skin warm and dry, no edema, heart sounds strong, regular with no abnormal beats/murmurs, pulses 3+ throughout, brisk cap refill


NEURO: Alert & oriented to person, place, time, and situation (x4) GI: Abdomen pink, flat, soft/nontender/symmetrical, bowel sounds audible per auscultation in all


four quadrants


GU: Voiding without pain/difficulty, reports urine clear/yellow


INTEGUMENTARY: Cool, moist forehead, skin integrity intact, skin turgor elastic, no tenting present

4. State the rationale and expected outcomes for the medical plan of care. Medical Management: Rationale: Expected Outcome:


Radiology Reports: What diagnostic results are RELEVANT and must be interpreted as clinically significant by the nurse? (Reduction of Risk Potential/Physiologic Adaptation)
