Diseases Process
Caregiver instructed to remove small area rugs and place non-slip treads on bare wood floors, steps and also at the top and bottom of the stairs to prevent falls.
Instructed patient to note the amount, color, consistency, and odor of tracheal and stomal secretions. Confirm the tracheostomy tube size and whether it's cuffed or fenestrated.
Patient advised to get a morrow and place it near suction machine so in that way he will see how to introduce suction catheter into tracheostomy tube without touching anything and in that way prevent contamination and further RTI.
Instructed patient to always keep supplies at your patient's bedside for suctioning; tube and stoma care; delivery of oxygen, heat, and humidity; tracheostomy tube replacement; and artificial ventilation.
Instructed patient that when on your assessment findings (coarse breath sounds, noisy breathing, and prolonged expiratory sounds) indicate that your airway needs clearing, suction it using sterile technique. Hyperoxygenate him before and after suctioning and between passes to compensate for suctioning-induced hypoxemia.
Patient was instructed on hypertension. Untreated hypertension can damage blood vessels, and after a blood vessel is damaged, fat and calcium can easily build up along the artery wall, forming a plaque and the blood flow through the blood vessel will be reduced.
Patient was instructed on Osteoporosis. Eating healthier means making changes that you can stay with over time. Consistently eating foods that are low in saturated fats and trans fats and that include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats (such as olive oil) will lower your risk for disease.
