Simulation Learning Objectives Assess the post-op patient - include information obtained through communication with patient/family. Determine a plan of care based on the findings. Document appropriately- assessment, interventions and evaluation. Demonstrate therapeutic communication techniques with the patient and family. Demonstrate effective communication techniques with team members to include SBAR when notifying MD. Implement safe, appropriate care.

1.

Introduce yourself and ask the patient what is the problem as you ID the patient

2. Recognize respiratory distress and use critical thinking skill to address the situation. (hypoxia, restlessness, sweating, use of accessory muscles and nasal flaring).

3. Based on clinical assessment, nurse should be able to implement respiratory management strategies (vital signs, initiate pulse oximetry, O2 therapy).

4. Perform a respiratory assessment quickly, efficiently and effectively (recognize abnormal breath sounds, abnormal breathing pattern, color and behavior) 5. Demonstrates appropriate communication with medical team 6. Assess the patient room for emergency airway management equipment 7. Communicates calmly and clearly with the patient and family 8. Implement appropriate nursing interventions for respiratory distress 9. Facilitate in carrying out physician orders: lab, chest x-ray, ABG’s, ECG and oxygen therapy

Scenario (and report to the nurse): Paulina Englasias is a 52 year old Hispanic female who was admitted to the MedSurg Unit following emergent surgery for cholecystitis 3 days ago. She presented at the ED with severe RUQ abdominal pain temp 102, nausea and vomiting. Lab work on admission showed an elevated WBC. A CT of the abdomen was obtained while in the ED. Based on the pain, lab and CT findings the patient was sent for an emergent open cholecystectomy. She has a history of hypertension. Pneumonia 2 years ago. She stopped smoking 6 months ago. Her weight is 78.9 kg, 165.2 cm tall, BMI 29. An IV was started for fluid replacement, along with broad spectrum antibiotics. Antibiotics completed 24 hours after surgery. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

IV of D5.45 Normal Saline with 10 KCl Saline lock right forearm NG removed yesterday- tolerating clear liquid diet but only in small amounts RUQ incision /intact Voiding – urine is dark yellow Requires frequent reminder to use incentive spirometer TED hose currently on Encouraged to walk more and got up twice during the night O2 2l NC- sats range from 92-94 with O2. Dropped to 90% off O2 during the night.

Married, children grown, employed as office administrator, Social drinker i.e 2 beers/wk. She was taking Morphine IV for pain every 2 hours if needed. Since yesterday she has been taking 2 Vicodin about every 4-6 hours for pain. The doctor mentioned in his progress note yesterday that she should be ready to go home today or tomorrow.
