Remember to include the important aspects about documentation including date, time, list out the D-A- R(DATA-ACTION-RESPONSE) 2. You are providing care for a patient with an abdominal wound that is covered with a clean, dry dressing that is intact. She is using oxygen at 3 liters per minute. She had put her call light on; you entered the room at 0905 and she states that she is short of breath. Her respiratory rate is 35 bpm, her lungs have wheezes bilaterally throughout the fields, she is pink in color and her o2 saturation level when checked with the monitor is 89%. You provide a breathing treatment as ordered (it is ordered prn-as needed every 4 hours). You encourage her to take deep breaths slowly through her nose and out through pursed lips. The patient states that she is feeling better and breathing easier. Ten minutes later, her respiratory rate is 26 and her O2 sat level is 94%. Her lungs are clear throughout.
