Diseases Process
Instructed patient Don't clean and reuse an inner cannula designed for one-time use.
Instructed patient Don't lavage with 0.9% sodium chloride solution during suctioning unless you need to clear a blockage of clots or mucus.
Patient was instructed on proper suctioning technique. To take a deep breath before applying suction to prevent depleting lung from oxygen.
Patient advised to get a morrow and place it near suction machine so in that way he will see how to introduce suction catheter into tracheostomy tube without touching anything and in that way prevent contamination and further RTI.
Patient instructed that Anemia is a condition characterized by an inadequate amount of red blood cells, which are produced in your bone marrow. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a substance that picks up oxygen from your lungs, carries it throughout your body, and gives it to your cells. Your cells need oxygen to perform the basic functions that generate energy and keep you alive. In addition, hemoglobin picks up some of the carbon dioxide given off by your cells and returns it to the lungs, where it is exhaled when you breathe out. Without enough red blood cells to transport oxygen to your cells and carbon dioxide away from your cells, your body functions at a less than optimal level.
Instructed patient about how when suffering from osteoarthritis the weight-bearing larger joints, including those of the hips, knees, neck and lower spine are the most commonly affected. The small finger joints and hands can be involved too.
Instructed patient to begin assessing his tracheostomy by inspecting the stoma site, which is typically slightly larger than the tracheostomy tube.
Instructed patient that when on your assessment findings (coarse breath sounds, noisy breathing, and prolonged expiratory sounds) indicate that your airway needs clearing, suction it using sterile technique. Hyperoxygenate him before and after suctioning and between passes to compensate for suctioning-induced hypoxemia.
Patient was instructed about protection against the swine flu. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
Patient was instructed about protection against the swine flu. Use disinfectants on frequently touched surfaces. Germs can also be spread when a person touches an infected surface and then touches their own eyes, mouth or nose.
