Question Answered step-by-step L.M.’s admission vs are 102/60, 84, 16 and 99.0 F. Her telemetry… L.M.’s admission vs are 102/60, 84, 16 and 99.0 F. Her telemetry monitor shows A-fib and frequent PVC’s. When you listen to her heart, you hear an S3 gallop, a grade III/IV systolic murmur and a soft, blowing diastolic murmur. Her point of maximal impulse (PMI) is displaced laterally. She has no pedal edema. You hear crackles in her lungs. Other assessment findings are normal. She is transferred to the CCU and is placed on a continuous Heparin IV drip and Amiodarone IV drip and started on O2 at 40% by face mask. Her lab values are drawn. Later in the day during a cardiac catheterization, her C.O. was found to be 2.3 L/min and her mean pulmonary artery pressure 29 mm Hg. What teaching/education is crucial for the success of this patient to not be readmitted with similar problems in the near future?
