In one sentence, describe the ESSENCE of the patient scenario that will guide your plan of care? Herbie Saunders is a 62-year-old male who came in last night for a CHF exacerbation. His doctor is Dr. Davis and hes a full code. Hes alert and oriented and can make his needs known. Hes on tele, normal sinus rhythm with occasional PVCs. His pressures are fine, heart rate is in the 70s. Lungs are clear in the uppers with crackles in the bases. Hes coughing up a small amount of white frothy secretions. Hes been on room air since he arrived, oxygen sats are in the low-mid 90s. He got 40 mg IV Lasix last night in the ED; I think you might have something scheduled during your shift but I havent given anything overnight. He has a 20 gauge in his right forearm. Im not sure how he gets around since hes been in bed since he got here.
