Discuss the four categories of asthma diagnosis advocated in the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health.

Miss Winters, age 25, comes to the emergency department with severe wheezing, dyspnea, and anxiety. She was in the ED only 6 hours ago with an acute asthma attack, which resolved with nebulized albuteral treatments.

Subjective Data:

-Admits to use of albuterol inhaler several times weekly for the last few months

-Asthma symptoms occasionally awaken her at night (about 3 times a week), and she has cancelled several outings with her family due to her symptoms

-Can now only speak in one to three word sentences

-Is allergic to cigarette smoke

-Began to experience increased shortness of breath and chest tightness when she returned home

-Used albuterol inhaler repeatedly at home without relief

-History of pruritic skin lesions that have come and gone since childhood.

Objective Data:

           Physical Examination:

-Using accessory muscles to breath

-Audible inspiratory and expiratory wheezing to auscultation with no air movement in lower lobes of l

lungs

-HR = 126/min; Resp = 40/min

-Areas of dry, scaling skin in antecubital areas bilaterally with evidence of scratching

Diagnostic Studies:

ABGs: PO2  = 80 mm Hg

PCO2  = 35mm Hg

HCO3  = 24 mEq/L

pH = 7.48

PEFR: 150 L/min (Personal best: 400 L/min)

Continuous pulse oximetry: 82-85

CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS:

  1. Why did Ms. W. return to the      ED? Explain the pathophysiology of this second exacerbation of asthma.
  2. Describe the progression of breath sounds auscultated      from early in an asthma attack through very severe respiratory impairment.      How do the sounds change as the patient improves?
  3. What is the significance of her dry, scaling, pruritic      skin lesions? What is your diagnosis (no nursing dx please)? How do these      types of lesions relate to asthma? What is their physiologic cause ?
  4. Analyze the ABG. What type of acid-base disorder is      present? Why? Is there any compensation?
  5. Discuss the four categories of asthma diagnosis      advocated in the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of      Asthma from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the      National Institutes of Health. Which classification best describes Ms.      W.’s asthma?
  6. According to the asthma treatment guidelines from #5:      the “Step up-Step down” approach, what is the recommended treatment      strategy for a patient currently at Ms. W.’s classification level once      this current exacerbation is controlled? When would it be appropriate to      reevaluate the interventions and possibly adjust the medications?
  7. She lost her Peak Flow meter during a recent house      move. Why would you want to order a new one for her? How is it used and      how can it help increase her ability to control her asthma? Explain the      red, yellow, and green zones. What is the significance of her PEFR level      on her return to the Emergency Room?

What would you have done differently? If a product is introduced to market and then fails, does this have an impact on another product being reintroduced?

  1. After reading the article Think Twice About Being First to Market, evaluate emerging trends and/or products that were introduced to the market too soon. What would you have done differently? If a product is introduced to market and then fails, does this have an impact on another product being reintroduced? Illustrate examples by providing specific details as to how the reintroduction of another product can impact consumer perception and/or intent to buy. Here is a thought-starter: Would you purchase a Mercedes-Benz after the recall of all of the previous year’s same line of cars? Keep in mind that the new model is using the same engine as the previous year’s model.
  2. Research Apple Company – What is its mission, philosophy of business, philosophy of customer service, etc.? What are its size and its scope of merchandise? What is its corporate structure?
