    Pleural Effusion Fdar

    Uploaded by

    vanessabdevera
    The patient had ineffective breathing due to pleural effusion, exhibiting Kussmaul breathing and a respiratory rate of 24. After repositioning the bed, deep breathing exercises, monitoring oxygen levels, and administering a bronchodilator, the patient's respiratory rate normalized to 19. The patient was at risk of infection after chest thoracostomy tube insertion. To reduce this risk, the nurse assessed for signs of infection, emphasized hand washing, changed the dressing daily, kept the surgical area clean and dry, administered antibiotics, and maintained a clean environment. These interventions prevented infection.
