Anurse is transfusing multiple units of packed red blood cells. after the second unit is transfused, the nurse auscultates bilateral crackles at the bases of the client's lungs and the client reports dyspnea. the nurse telephones the health care provider and provides an sbar report. which statement represents the final step in this type of communication?

a. "I think the client would benefit from intravenous furosemide (Lasix)."

Explanation:

Communication between doctor and nurses regarding patients should follow the order: situation, background, evaluation and recommendations. Based on this, since the nurse has already reported the first three topics, the final communication step should be a recommendation on how to solve the patient's problem.

In the above case, the patient was diagnosed with dyspnea which is difficulty breathing, a condition usually related to heart and respiratory disease. A recommendation for this case is the use of intravenous furosemide to solve the patient's problem. In this case, the nurse should close the communication with the doctor with the phrase: "I think the client would benefit from intravenous furosemide (Lasix)."

explanation:

the fossil record extends back to a dog-like ancestor some 55 million years ago, which gave rise to the first horse-like species 55 to 42 million years ago in the genus eohippus.

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
