The MICU nurse learns from the floor nurse that the client was admitted two days prior for aspiration pneumonia from a nursing home and has been receiving antibiotic treatment since admission.MICU Nursing notes:0800: Client arrives to the ICU in respiratory distress on 15L oxygen via a non-rebreather mask after no improvement in oxygenation status on 12L high-flow nasal cannula on the general medicine floor.
