Simulation Scenario: Patient is wheezing, Sats drop to 89%, skin is mottled, patient is full code. You will need to apply oxygen and titrate the amount of oxygen up from nasal cannula, to simple face mask, to non-rebreather mask. You will then give an S.B.A.R. report to the provider. You will administer a nebulizer treatment. While the nebulizer is going, your patient's family has a care conference with palliative care providers and they decide to back off on aggressive cares and move to a comfort care approach. You will need to use what you learned in Chapter 43- Loss, Grief, and dying along with other resources to alter your plan of care for your patient once the family and patient have decided to switch to comfort care.
