    Rationale: The patient's assessment indicates that assisted coughing is needed to help remove secretions, which will improve PaCO2 and will also help to correct fatigue. If the patient is allowed to rest, the PaCO2 will increase. Humidification may help loosen secretions, but the weak cough effort will prevent the secretions from being cleared. The patient should be positioned with the good lung down to improve gas exchange.…

    The first priority is to perform a focused assessment to include the patient’s respiratory function, pain, mental status, and any medication the patient has taken. The patient’s airway and ability to breathe and maintain a patent airway becomes the first priority. By asking the patient the four questions of orientation the nurse can assess the patient’s mental status. The patient’s pain can also be assessed quickly by using a numerical value or the Wong-Baker Scale prior to the patient becoming unresponsive, as well as asking the patient for a brief history of her medical condition and any co-morbidities. For the patient’s airway and breathing, the patient should be placed on 15 liters of oxygen with a non-rebreather mask to allow for increased oxygenation and a pulse…

    Furthermore, failure to follow a systematic assessment in the treatment of an acutely ill patient is also another contributing factor (Resuscitation Council UK 2006). There is however, the risk of this kind of approach being subjective as each individual may observe, feel or hear symptoms differently. Due to the word constraint, this assignment will concentrate on the breathing assessment aspect of Dominic’s condition and also the pathophysiology of COPD and the use of oxygen (O2) as treatment to alleviate his symptoms.…
