Suggest Treatment For Asthma And Cold With Breathing Difficulty
Hi I have a questions. About a one scenario. A patient comes to the emergency department with wheezing and thick airway secretions. His heart rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure are all elevated. He is using accessory muscles of ventilation to breathe and has peripheral cyanosis. He has a history of asthma and has had a bad cold for several days. The questions are: 1. What are two possible respiratory conditions he may have? 2. Which two processes are causing the most problems in the case? Hope you can help me for my assignments I m a nursing student. Thank you very much! Kim

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for the patient, you have stated the age and gender of the patient it is surprising that being a student such important information you missed here without this how can it to be answered, you have asked the academic question and of course this needs full information for whom you are talking about male or female young or old or pediatric patients because clinical condition varies in these all, better give the complete information, take care.
