Question Interventions such as nebulized medications can quickly improve therespiratory status of a patient in respiratory distress. As they are aerosol-generating procedures, they increase the risk of transmission of airborne particles. This procedure is supported as long as enhanced personal protective equipment (PPE) is used. What are your thoughts on this practice? Wearing PPE inhibits the therapeutic nurse-patient relationship. What activities could you do to personalize the relationship? The use of face-masks limits communication (both verbal and non-verbal) between the nurse and the patient. What are some actions/activities that could enhance communication while wearing PPE? What are some of the challenges of wearing enhanced PPE? How would you respond to these challenges? The patient has significant problems using the metered-dose inhaler appropriately. How should the nurse best respond to this issue? Health Science Science Nursing SCIENCE 07 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
