TMC · Sample question
A 68-year-old patient arrives in the ED with dyspnea, wheezing, RR 26/min, and SpO2 90% on room air. The provider asks you to assess the patient for respiratory care protocol eligibility. The patient says symptoms began last night after cleaning a damp basement. Which history element should you obtain next to guide immediate respiratory therapy decisions?
Review Respiratory History Elements
D is correct: onset after damp-basement exposure plus wheezing makes prior diagnosis, triggers, inhalers, and home oxygen immediately relevant to protocol-based respiratory care. C is tempting, but antibiotic selection and diagnosing pneumonia are provider responsibilities; sputum color alone is insufficient. A may help later, but unstable dyspnea requires bedside assessment and timely therapy. B ignores key respiratory history needed before intervention.
ASSESS respiratory history, SpO2, work of breathing, and breath sounds; INTERVENE per ordered protocol; REFER worsening status or suspected infection to the provider; DOCUMENT triggers, medications, oxygen use, findings, and response.
