[Verified Answer]: You are a nurse taking over care of Ms

You are a nurse taking over care of Ms. O on the day shift and have just received the report from the night nurse. The information included that the patient is always active, alert, and oriented, and if not careful, she will keep you in her room for hours talking. You went into the patient’s room to introduce yourself and possibly do your initial assessment, but the patient was sleeping and did not wake up when you called her name. You notice chest rise and fall, which tells you the patient is breathing, so you decide to go and see other patients and come back later to see her. You went back repeatedly and could still not wake the patient even after doing a sternum rub. The patient is still breathing. Question Is there any variance from what you know as normal with this patient? Explain your answer (1pt) What might you do at this time? (State at least three things you will do about the patient’s condition) (3 pts for the three answers) Why do you not check blood pressure on an arm if the patient had a mastectomy on that side? (1pt)
