respiratory failure
Patient was instructed on respiratory
infection. After initial infection, the viral replication cycle begins within 8 to hours. To prevent infection, washing or disinfecting hands has been found effective, as this minimizes person-to-person transmission of the virus.
Patient was instructed about the swine flu. Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory
disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses that causes regular outbreaks in pigs. People do not normally get swine flu, but human infections can and do happen. Swine flu viruses have been reported to spread from person-to-person.
Patient was instructed on precautions to prevent respiratory
complications. Avoid persons with infections and wash hands frequently. Caution the patient to avoid the use of respiratory
depressants.
Patient was instructed on respiratory

Sometimes accompanied by 'pink eye', muscle aches, fatigue, malaise, headaches, muscle weakness, uncontrollable shivering, and loss of appetite, fever and extreme exhaustion are rare during a cold and are more usual in influenza. The symptoms of a cold usually resolve after about one week, but can last up to two.
Instructed in factors that increase the risk of COPD such as respiratory
infections, respiratory
irritants (dust, smoking, cold, damp air, etc), possible family history, and poor defense system.
The patient was instructed in COPD: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease the importance of avoiding bronchopulmonary irritants such as cigarettes smoking, industrial air pollutants, dust, powders, perfumes, aerosol sprays. The patient was encouraged to use of bronchodilator nebulizers. The patient was taught in adaptive breathing techniques such as deep-breathing exercises, coughing techniques, pursed-lip breathing, and abdominal breathing. The patient was reviewed to avoid persons with infections, especially upper respiratory
tract infections. The patient was advised the importance of taking vaccines for influenza and pneumococcal pneumonia. The patient was recommended on cleaning of all home respiratory
equipment. The patient was taught in the importance of environmental control, avoid dry air, avoid going out in cold temperatures.

SN instructed patient about oxycodone/ acetaminophen ,non-serious adverse reactions include lightheadedness, dizziness, drowsiness or sedation, nausea, and vomiting. These effects seem to be more prominent in ambulatory than in no ambulatory patients, and some of these adverse reactions may be alleviated if the patient lies down. Other adverse reactions include euphoria, dysphoria, constipation, and pruritus. Serious SE/AR include respiratory
depression, apnea, respiratory
arrest, circulatory depression, hypotension, and shock .
SN instructed patient about respiratory
infection to drink plenty of fluids ( fever, which may be related to the flu, can cause dehydration ). It is important to maintain hydration. Take acetaminophen ( but do not take aspirin unless your doctor tells ). SN instructed patient to get a flu shot each year and decrease the exposure to the flu.
