Mr. C., age 68 with a history of COPD, presented in the emergency department 2 days...

Mr. C., age 68 with a history of COPD, presented in the emergency department 2 days ago febrile with a productive cough of large amounts of purulent sputum and in acute respiratory failure. He was diagnosed with community-acquired pneumonia and treated with antibiotics, hydration, aggressive pulmonary hygiene, and supplemental oxygen therapy. Although his oxygenation improved, he continued to be diaphoretic, using accessory muscles of respiration and complaining, "I am exhausted" and "I can't get enough air." Arterial blood gas revealed: pH 7.31, PaCO2 59 mm Hg, PaO2 89 mm Hg, SaO2 91%, HCO3 29 mEq/L. The decision was made to intubate and place him on mechanical ventilation with the following settings: assist control (AC) mode, tidal volume (VT) 625 mL, respiratory rate 16 breaths/min, FiO2 0.70, and 5 cm H2O of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). He was transferred to the critical care unit.

Two days later, his presentation at 0500 is as follows:

  • Ventilator settings: Mode AC, VT625 mL, respiratory rate 12, FiO235, 5 cm H2O PEEP
  • Total RR 16, peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) 22 mm Hg
  • Moderate amounts sputum, rhonchi that clear with coughing, chest x-ray shows clearing pneumonia
  • Negative inspiratory force ­-37 cm H2O, spontaneous tidal volume 5 mL/kg, vital capacity (VC) 10 mL/kg, minute ventilation 10 L/min, rapid shallow breathing index of 37
  • Temperature 99.0° F oral, heart rate 86 beats/min, blood pressure 132/84 mm Hg
  • No vasopressor or inotropic agents, urinary output is good, NPO since admission.
  • Alert and oriented to person, place and situation, hypervigilant and restless, has not slept well since admission

The team decides to perform a ventilator weaning trial. At 0620 Mr. C. is placed on 10 cm H2O of pressure support with an FiO2 0.40.
Assessment at 0720 is as follows:

  • Heart rate 108 beats/min
  • Blood pressure 157/90 mm Hg
  • Respiratory rate 36 breaths/min and labored
  • SpO290%

He is diaphoretic and alternates between picking at his gown and falling asleep and needing to be aroused to stimulate breathing. He is placed back on the ventilator at the previous settings.
Late that morning, during rounds, Mr. C. is started on nutritional support via tube feeding and given trazodone at night for sleep. He is allowed a morning nap and has physical therapy that afternoon.

The following day he passes the pre-wean screening and is again placed on PS 5 above 5 cm H2O PEEP. Assessment findings 30 minutes into the weaning trial are as follows:

  • Heart rate 84 beats/min
  • Blood pressure 120/76 mm Hg
  • Respiratory rate 18 breaths/min, unlabored
  • SpO296%

Mr. C. is calm, cooperative, and oriented, so the weaning trial is continued for 90 minutes. Arterial blood gas results were pH 7.34, PaCO2 48 mm Hg, PaO2 74 mm Hg, HCO3 24 mEq/L, and SaO2 95%. The decision was made to extubate, and the patient was discharged from the critical care unit the following day.

Please answer the following questions concerning Mr. C,

  1. What do the measures of negative inspiratory force, spontaneous tidal volume, vital capacity, minute ventilation, and rapid shallow breathing index assess?
  2. What other parameters should/could be assessed as part of the initial wean screen?
  3. Why is pressure support the mode used for the weaning trial?

  3. What interventions are indicated?

Employee salaries are one of the leading expenses for health care organizations. Most organizations have pre-determined salary ranges for each position within the organization. When hiring new employees, these ranges are often questioned by applicants, and hiring managers must be confident in their ability to handle the salary negotiation process, to benefit all parties involved. You recently interviewed several qualified candidates for a clinical nursing position in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). You have narrowed your selection pool down to the following three candidates: Candidate

1) Associate’s Degree in Nursing, graduated two years ago with a 4.0 GPA, was president of nursing class and held a part-time job as a CNA for the duration of nursing school. Since graduating, has been working in Labor & Delivery. During the interview, this candidate mentioned she was thankful to have received a full scholarship for nursing school, and had no education debt. Candidate

2) Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing degree, graduates next month, previously worked as a paramedic for five years before entering nursing school. During the interview, she mentioned her recent marriage, and stated she was excited by the excellent benefits your hospital offers. Candidate

3) Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing degree, graduated a year ago, held multiple leadership positions in undergraduate school, intends to pursue Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) program at some point. During the interview, you noticed this candidate had several visible tattoos.

Assuming all other factors are equal, which candidate would you NOT consider for this position, and why?

Your pool is now narrowed to two candidates. Each one has expressed their salary expectations, with one being significantly higher than your typical range.

Explain how you would go about discussing and negotiating the salary for the candidate in the higher range. Include both internal and external processes.

You spoke with references for the candidate with the lower salary expectation. While there wasn’t anything concerning about the references, none of them seemed overly-enthusiastic.

Based on this information, should you offer the job to this candidate, especially considering their salary expectation is well within your range, and would save your budget a significant amount of money compared to the other candidate?

Mr T, (33-years-old), complained of bilateral, distal hand and feet weakness that progressed to the limbs, trunk and respiratory muscles within a week of onset. He previously worked as an administrator. Investigations confirmed Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and intravenous therapy of immunoglobins (Polygam) commenced three days ago. Upon evaluation, you find the following: • The patient requires oxygen via nasal cannula as he has 93% oxygen saturation. • Normal tone in all limbs, with reduced trunk tone and control. • Grade 3 muscle strength globally of all limbs (according to Modified Oxford scale) • Diminished sensation and proprioception throughout the body. • Able to roll independently to both sides in bed. • Requires manual and verbal cues to sit at the edge of the bed.

You decide to present Mr T as a case study to your colleagues. You are required to develop an informative PowerPoint presentation, including the following: • Pathology of GBS • Rehabilitation plan for the patient, using illustrations • Precautions observed
