Question 1
MEDIUMA patient with COPD is receiving oxygen via nasal cannula at 4 L/min. The patient becomes drowsy and the respiratory rate decreases from 18/min to 10/min. Which action should the nurse take first?
In COPD, excessive oxygen can worsen hypercapnia in some patients. The priority is to assess oxygenation/ventilation (SpO2 and ABG per order) and then titrate oxygen appropriately. Increasing oxygen without assessment may worsen CO2 retention; stopping oxygen abruptly risks hypoxemia; opioid antagonist is not indicated without evidence of opioid-induced respiratory depression.
