First… without vitals accurately recorded in the chart, a chart audit may fail to confirm the physician's actions and findings.
second… vital signs can be an early indicator of illness, deterioration, or impending adverse event.
lastly, vital signs are important for the physician when evaluating the patient.

Tracking your vital signs provides medical professionals with concrete information that they use to assess your health and form a correct diagnosis. Without vital signs, misdiagnosis can occur and lead to incorrect treatment.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

A client arrived in the emergency department with a sharp object penetrating the diaphragm. This can be a serious injury, however, the cardinal signs and symptoms of an impaired gas exchange should identify as a priority.

The nurse would first assess the airway by observing for any respiratory distress or inappropriate cough. Other potential indicators are tingling/tingling sensation on the tongue and lips, inability to swallow, hoarseness, or voice changes.

Explanation:

The nurse could identify the priority nursing diagnosis as an abnormal breathing pattern. The nurse may need to alert the physician that this type of injury will cause impaired gas exchange, which can affect vital organs in the body.

The priority of nursing care is to stop the bleeding and assess for any underlying injuries. A nursing diagnosis of pain and anxiety might be appropriate if the client was found to be in severe pain, but not stress related. Since we know that diaphragm injuries can cause impeded gas exchange, it would make sense if this client exhibited signs of impaired gas exchange and had shortness of breath after the brief attempt at identifying their wound.

Immunity... when you’re body protects you from a infection or disease. Natural immunity is when you get sick and recover. Your body makes T cells so If you are exposed to the infection again the T cell remember and fight the infection. Herd immunity is when most people in the community has had the virus or infection. Keeps the infection from spreading in that area because most people are already immune to it.
