You are a nursing student who is assigned to a busy
medical-surgical unit that specializes in the care of patients with
various respiratory disorders. One of your patients for the day is
Mr. Jackson Martinez, or Jackie, a 23 year old
Mexican-American male with a primary diagnosis of pulmonary
exacerbation secondary to cystic fibrosis. Over the past few days
since being admitted, Jackie's condition has been worsening. During
your morning rounds with the interdisciplinary healthcare team, you
learn that Jackie's prognosis is poor and his physician believes
that respiratory failure is imminent. After your meeting with the
team, it is time for you to assess Jackie. Upon assessing, you find
that his respiratory status has, in fact, significantly declined
from just a few days ago. As you are finishing your assessment,
Jackie's mom enters the room and begins to ask you questions about
the assessment you just completed and how her son is
doing?
