➡️ Question
A 39-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency department with a fever and SpO2 of 87% on room air. Upon auscultation, rhonchi is heard, and the patient has a productive cough. Which of the following would you recommend?
A. Intubate and provide mechanical ventilation with 40% oxygen
B. Provide noninvasive positive pressure ventilation using a full face mask
C. Implement postural drainage and percussion with directed coughing
D. Provide oxygen therapy and obtain a sputum sample for culture and sensitivity
To get this one correct, you needed to recognize that the patient has some type of infection (e.g., pneumonia). You know this because the question states that the patient is hypoxemic, has a fever, and has rhonchi on auscultation. So, in this case, you should obtain a sputum sample for culture and sensitivity to identify the type of organism that is present. Additionally, oxygen therapy would be indicated to treat the patient's hypoxemia. Intubation and NPPV would not be indicated in this case, and postural drainage and percussion would also not be recommended.
