Post by: turblety on Oct 27, 2017 You have been called to a residence by the parents of a 14-year-old boy, whom they found sniffing paint fumes in an effort to get high. The patient is agitated, coughing, and complaining of dizziness and shortness of breath. His airway is patent, respirations adequate, and radial pulse easily palpable. Closer assessment of the patient reveals paint around his mouth and breath sounds that are clear and equal. Heart rate = 96, respirations = 20, blood pressure = 116/78, and SaO2 = 96%. Oxygen via a nonrebreather has been applied and an IV established. Which of the following is the most important in the assessment and care of this patient?
A) Benzodiazepines B) Antipyretics C) Cardiac monitoring D) Albuterol administration Title: Re: You have been called to a residence by the parents of a 14-year-old boy, whom they found ... Post by: Makaha on Oct 27, 2017 Content hidden
