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.…

The test that were conducted on J.T. were a laboratory blood test, pulse oximetry test, an arterial blood gas analysis, a pulmonary function test, and a chest x-ray. The laboratory blood test may not directly tell if a person has COPD but they are important to note the possible causes of one’s symptoms and are useful for ruling out other disorders. A laboratory blood test also includes an arterial blood gas analysis which is useful to determine if one’s lungs are working properly and begs to answer the question: is one bringing in adequate oxygen and getting rid of carbon dioxide? A pulse oximetry test is useful to see how well oxygenated your blood is. Moreover, the pulmonary function test measure ventilation or the amount of air one can take…
