1. Document your initial focused respiratory assessment of Jennifer Hoffman. Upon entering Mrs. Hoffman’s room I washed my hands and identified myself. She was in obvious respiratory distress so ... I decided to go ahead and check her vitals. Her pulse was strong and tachycardia. I assessed her respiratory effort and rate, It was a rate of 30 with increased effort. I then proceeded to auscultate her lungs where I heard audible wheezing. After placing the pulse ox I saw that her oxygen saturation was 74% and dropping. This is when I decided to go ahead and intervene with supplying oxygen. 2.
