CNA252 Professional Practice 1: Asthma Patient Care Plan Analysis

This assignment presents a detailed care plan for a 25-year-old patient, Kobi Monterey, who has grown up with asthma and experiences an asthma attack at work. The assignment begins with collecting cues from the patient's history and current presentation, including rapid breathing, wheezing, cyanosis, and a continuous cough. It then processes and interprets the information, differentiating between normal and abnormal data, and relates these cues to form an overall opinion on the patient's condition, considering factors like wood dust exposure in his carpentry work. The assignment predicts potential outcomes if no action is taken, identifies key nursing problems (lack of knowledge and anxiety), and establishes a goal to address the highest priority problem. The care plan outlines actions, including oxygen therapy and venipuncture, with rationales based on pathophysiology and psychological principles. It also describes how to evaluate the effectiveness of the care provided. Finally, the assignment includes a reflection on the chosen skill (oxygen therapy), discussing strengths and weaknesses, and outlining actions for improvement, reinforcing professional responsibility and informing future learning within the clinical reasoning cycle.
