Emilia Perez (E.P.), a 48-year-old woman, is admitted to the nursing unit 2 hours after undergoing a right mastectomy. The floor nurse receives report from the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) nurse that includes the patient’s admitting diagnosis of breast cancer, latest vital signs, focused assessment, medication and intravenous (IV) orders, pain level and the time she was last medicated for pain, and the status of her surgical dressing. Initially E.P. appears comfortable, dozing occasionally between short conversations with her spouse, who is at her side. When E.P. fully awakens 3 hours after arriving on the unit, she complains of sharp pain on the right side of her chest. She rates her pain at 8 of 10 on the pain scale. She is grimacing and appears tense. 1. Identify two types of health care team members with whom the nurse would expect to collaborate while caring for E.P. 2. List five additional pieces of data that the nurse who admits E.P. to the nursing unit would want to know before initiating care. Next to each item, identify whether it is subjective or objective data that would be appropriate for a post-operative mastectomy patient? 3. Write four questions that the nurse could ask to obtain primary data on E.P. 4. From what sources could the nurse obtain secondary data? 5. Write patient-focused, measurable, and realistic short-term goal for E.P, who primary nursing diagnosis is acute pain.
