Drawing on the case study below, you will use relevant and current evidence to describe an approach to assessment linked to underlying pathophysiology and develop and report an initial evidence-based plan for care

Question 1:

A. Describe and justify what two (2) nursing assessments you would perform as a priority.

B. Considering the situation and her medical history (picture and case study), identify two (2) factors that could have contributed to her dyspnoea and explain these factors in relation to underlying pathophysiology. Support your response with relevant and current evidence.

D. Using current and relevant evidence, identify and justify two (2) nurse-initiated and evidence-based interventions to positively impact on Suzanne’s situation.

Based on Suzanne’s situation document a written entry into the progress notes. Your report must use the SBAR framework and accurately report the situation (Situation), identified risk factors for her dyspnoea (Background), findings from the initial assessment (here you may make up assessment findings that you would expect when observing Suzanne) and interventions suggested in Q1 (Assessment) and how the interventions should be evaluated (Recommendations).
