Question: A 24-year-old patient presents to the clinic with shortness of breath, wheeze, and coughing fits that are hard to control. She is afebrile, RR 22, 02 sat 95% on RA, BP 135/80, and HR 108. The patient has a history of asthma. She states, "I've been using my albuterol inhaler all day, but it just doesn't seem to be working." The NP assesses the patient and identifies expiratory wheezes without accessory muscle use. The NP considers: This patient should have a stat chest xray to rule out pneumonia. This patient likely has a mild-moderate asthma flare and orders an albuterol nebulizer treatment. This patient should be immediately transferred to the ED. This patient does not qualify for oral steroids and should be seen again in 2 weeks. Need Assignment Help?
