Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The findings for this patient indicate high risk for bleeding from an elevated (nontherapeutic)PTT. The nurse needs to adjust the rate of the infusion (dose)per the health care provider's parameters. The patient with BiPAP for sleep apnea has a normal respiratory rate. The patient recovering from the percutaneous coronary intervention will need to be assisted with voiding and this task could be delegated to unlicensed assistive personnel. The patient with a fever may be developing ventilator-associated pneumonia,but addressing the bleeding risk is a higher priority.
