https://precisionessays.com/in/project/createThe assignment is 2000word.
Task aims:
Your task is to explain the nursing care for an adult person experiencing Acute Pulmonary Oedema. In your response you are to include pathophysiology and pharmacological management when explaining the nursing care required. You will refer to an inter-professional model of care inclusive of nursing practice, safety and quality standards.
The course objectives being assessed are;
CO 2. Perform a comprehensive health assessment on adults from a range of different cultures.
CO 3. Apply an evidence-based framework to develop, implement and critically evaluate a plan of care for adults presenting with acute health problems.
CO4. Explain an inter-professional model of care for the management of adults with acute health problems.
CO5. Apply pharmacological knowledge and principles in the management of care for adults with acute health problems.
CO6. Analyse the legal and ethical considerations in caring for adults with acute health problems.
CO7. Apply the principles of quality, safety and risk management in caring for adults presenting with acute health problems.
Task descriptions:
There are two (2) components to this assessment – Part 1 and Part 2
Part 1.
Refer to the case scenario provided in the course site located in the assignment tab for Ms Foley who has been diagnosed with acute pulmonary oedema.
From the assessment information in the scenario, you are to analyse the information provided and then complete two (2) charts – Observation Chart and the HHHS Fluid Balance Chart (FBC). These charts are located on the Learnonline site in the Assessment Folder and are part of your assignment.
In your response to the case scenario presented you are to include a brief description of the implications of your findings from your nursing assessment of the situation. You are then to apply your findings to the relevant pathophysiology of acute pulmonary oedema to account for Ms Foley’s abnormal results.
Explain the nursing care that Ms Foley will require and include evidence based rationales for how you will evaluate the effectiveness of your plan. Include in your explanation the oxygenation requirements, delivery device, and rationales incorporating related pharmacological knowledge for the stat IV 40mg Frusemide order.
Please be advised that the completed chart(s) are NOT included as part of the word count for this assessment item.
Part 2.
Explain the inter-professional model of care required for Ms Foley while in hospital. You are to include the most appropriate national nursing regulatory standards linked to Ms Foley’s care. A starting point is to read the Registered Nurse Standards for Practice (NMBA 2016).

Nursing notes
10/08/2017 0515 Nursing note: Medical review overnight at 04.30 by Dr Leon and team. ECG performed. Noted risk of acute pulmonary oedema and is to be managed conservatively at this point. Stat order has been written up to administer 40mgs IV frusemide at 0800. Nil further orders required at this time of entry. [Neurological] Ms Foley is alert and orientated GCS 15, states that she has had a restless night with little sleep. Nil complaints of pain and when asked to rate her pain Ms Foley stated 2/10, declined analgesia. [Breathing] Overnight she developed periods of shortness of breath (SOB) and greater work of breathing (WOB) with her respiratory rate increasing up to 25 Rpm and her O2 saturations dropping to 80% on room air. Orthopnea resolved when she was sat up in high fowlers using four (4) pillows for support with a return of O2 saturations to 95% on room air. [Cardiac] Heart rate sinus rhythm second hourly vital signs at beginning of shift from 1900 to 0300 noted developing trend of hypertension. Began hourly vital sign monitoring now noting a trend towards hypotension with increasing tachycardia. Hourly neurovascular observations of are within normal limits with distal pulse present in both left and right extremities, brisk capillary refill and both feet warm to touch with nil abnormal sensations. Normotensive 36.6 0C. [Gastrointestinal] Ms Foley is currently nil by mouth Bowel sounds present and passing flatus. Bowels not open this shift.
