A nurse is caring for a patient with acute leukemia who suddenly develops severe shortness of breath, chest pain, and anxiety. The patient's vital signs are: temperature 101.2°F (38.4°C), heart rate 128 bpm, respiratory rate 32/min, blood pressure 88/54 mmHg, and oxygen saturation 89% on room air. What is the nurse's priority action?
1Immediately administer high-flow oxygen and prepare for emergency intubation✓ 정답
2Obtain a 12-lead ECG to rule out myocardial infarction
3Administer prescribed anxiolytic medication for anxiety
4Check the patient's complete blood count and coagulation studies
해설
The patient shows signs of respiratory distress with hypoxia (SpO2 89%), tachypnea (32/min), and cyanosis, indicating a life-threatening oncological emergency. Immediate high-flow oxygen and preparation for intubation address the ABC priorities (airway, breathing, circulation) to manage hypoxia and potential respiratory failure.
