Which prescription written by a health care provider for an eye drop medication is written correctly?

The nurse should make the statement “The client has hypoxemia after 10 minutes on a rebreather mask.” first. This is because SBAR (Situation- Background-Assessment-Recommendation) is a communication tool that helps provide essential, concise information, usually during crucial situations. The first component of SBAR is Situation, which is a concise statement of the problem.

The nurse should state the most urgent and relevant problem first, which is the client’s hypoxemia.

Choice A is wrong because it is not a clear statement of the situation.

It is vague and does not provide specific information about the client’s condition or vital signs.

It also expresses the nurse’s feeling rather than an objective assessment.

Choice C is wrong because it is part of the Assessment component of SBAR, not the Situation.

It provides numerical data about the client’s blood gas analysis, but it does not state the problem or the reason for calling the healthcare provider.

Choice D is wrong because it is part of the Background component of SBAR, not the Situation.

It provides pertinent and brief information related to the situation, such as the client’s medical history and diagnosis, but it does not state the current problem or concern.

Normal ranges for blood gas analysis are:

• PaO2: 80-100 mmHg
• PaCO2: 35-45 mmHg
• HCO3: 22-26 mEq/L

Hypoxemia is defined as a low level of oxygen in the blood, usually below 60 mmHg.

Remove gloves, wash hands, remove face shield, gown, mask, and wash hands again. This is because gloves are the most contaminated piece of PPE and should be removed first to avoid touching other parts of the body or environment with them. Washing hands after removing gloves is also important to reduce the risk of infection. Face shields, gowns, and masks should be removed in that order, as they are less contaminated than gloves and can be handled with clean hands. Washing hands again after removing all PPE is the final step to ensure hygiene.

Choice A is wrong because it does not include washing hands after removing gloves, which is a crucial step to prevent contamination. It also removes the gown before the gloves, which can cause the gown to touch the face or hair and contaminate them.

Choice B is wrong because it does not include washing hands between removing gloves and gown, which can transfer germs from the gloves to the gown and then to the face or hair when removing the face shield and mask.

Choice D is wrong because it does not include washing hands between removing gloves and gown, which can transfer germs from the gloves to the gown and then to the face or hair when removing the face shield and mask. It also removes the gown before the face shield, which can cause the gown to touch the face or hair and contaminate it.

Normal ranges for PPE removal are not applicable as different types of PPE may require different methods of removal. However, some general principles are to remove PPE in a way that minimizes contact with contaminated surfaces, perform hand hygiene frequently, and dispose of PPE properly.
