Jones
Mr. Jones is transferred to the critical care unit after a quadruple CABG. Preoperative vital signs were blood pressure 164/88 mm Hg, apical pulse 62 beats per minute and regular, respiratory rate 18 per minute, temperature 98.4°F (36.9°C). Data collection findings are blood pressure 100/56 mm Hg, apical pulse 105 beats per minute, and respiratory rate 28 per minute, irregular and shallow, temperature 99.8°F (37.7°C), lung sounds diminished with crackles in bilateral bases, pedal pulses weak bilaterally, chest and leg dressings dry and intact, and no urinary catheter. Mr. Jones is being monitored for first postoperative voiding.
1. Which findings may indicate pulmonary problems?
2. List four nursing interventions for the altered pulmonary status.
3. List three reasons why the apical pulse could be elevated.
4. Name two reasons why the blood pressure could be low.
5. With which health care team members will the nurse collaborate?
