Answer 1

Answer 1:
a. Airway Management - the patient is dyspnic and anxious, yet his airway doesn't currently appear to be compromised. If fatigue, altered mental status, decreased respiratory effort or cyanosis become apparent, intervention may be necessary.

b. Breathing - listen to lungs (clear). Supplemental O2 - Patient should be placed on supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula. For every increase from 11/min flow the inspired oxygen will increase approximately 4%. 1-6L/min is 24%-44%.

Face Mask at 8-10 L/min 40-60% O2

Non rebreather at 6L 60%

at 10L 100%

c. Circulation - Access - patient was BIBEMS, likely has lines. Should have at least two working peripheral lines.

d. Exposure - The patient should be undressed and placed on a monitor.
