Something for my Nursing Student Audience today.
Avoid Charting:
βLungs congested.β
Chart This Instead:
βCoarse crackles auscultated at bilateral posterior lung bases.
Patient reports shortness of breath with exertion. Respiratory rate 24 breaths/min. SpOβ 89% on room air.
Oxygen initiated at 2 L/min via nasal cannula per order.β
