When contacting the physician, you will

Have the patients information, history, assessment and your preferred orders
Know only the patients name and vital signs
Tell them to look in the EMR for current patient data
Ask them come assess their patient

Correct Answer

A. Have the patients information, history, assessment and your preferred orders

Explanation

When contacting the physician, it is important to have all the necessary information about the patient, including their information, medical history, assessment, and any preferred orders. This allows the physician to make an informed decision and provide appropriate care for the patient. Simply knowing the patient's name and vital signs may not be sufficient for the physician to understand the full picture and make accurate decisions. Asking the physician to come and assess their patient may not be necessary if all the relevant information is provided beforehand.

You have assessed Mr. Jones in room 4802 and found that he is complaining of shortness of breath. He has a history of COPD and wears home O2 at 2L NC. His SPo2 is 88% on 6L Nasal Cannula and Respiratory Rate is 32. His wife was with him all day and left an hour ago. He had a good day with no reports of dyspnea. Physical Therapy walked with him today and he ambulated independently on 2L NC. When using the SBAR Tool, the assessment would include

Mr. Jones walked today independently on 2L NC
Mrs. Jones spent the day with Mr. Jones and just left an hour ago
Mr. Jones is in room 4802 and is complaining of dyspnea
Mr. Jones has a respiratory rate of 32 and his SPo2 is 88% on 6L NC

Correct Answer

A. Mr. Jones has a respiratory rate of 32 and his SPo2 is 88% on 6L NC

Explanation

The assessment includes Mr. Jones' respiratory rate and SPo2 levels, which are important indicators of his breathing and oxygenation status. These findings suggest that he may be experiencing respiratory distress due to his COPD. The information about his wife being with him all day and leaving recently may be relevant in understanding his current condition and any changes that may have occurred. The fact that Mr. Jones was able to walk independently on 2L NC earlier in the day indicates his functional ability, which is also important to consider in his overall assessment.

When the physician calls back regarding Mr. Jones, the background information would include

He is retired after working 40 years at a local auto plant
A history of COPD and uses home O2 at 2L NC
Mr. Jones had an appendectomy 30 years ago
His current ordered diet is low sodium

Correct Answer

A. A history of COPD and uses home O2 at 2L NC

Explanation

The background information provided includes various details about Mr. Jones, such as his history of COPD and his use of home oxygen at 2L NC. This information is important for the physician to know as it suggests that Mr. Jones has a chronic respiratory condition and requires supplemental oxygen therapy. This information can help guide the physician's decision-making and treatment plan for Mr. Jones. Additionally, it is relevant to mention that the other details provided, such as his work history, previous appendectomy, and current diet, are not as directly related to his current medical condition and may not have as much impact on the physician's decision-making process.
