Bоnus Cоmplete а sоаp plаn for the case study below. Admitting History A 35-year-old Spanish-American woman was a schoolteacher with a 3-year-old son and an unemployed husband who was still “finding his real place in life.” The woman was a high achiever. She had recently received her doctoral degree in education, but she continued to work in the classroom with the grade-school children she loved so much. She was named Teacher of the Year in the large city where she lived. Her colleagues at school considered her a nonstop worker. She had never smoked. At home, she was always on the move. She had just finished remodeling her kitchen and two bathrooms. She also did her own backyard landscaping on the weekends, a job she particularly enjoyed. She read and played with her son whenever they had time together. Although she enjoyed cooking (a skill she learned from her mother), she did not like to shop for groceries. Fortunately, this was a chore that her husband enjoyed. Three weeks before the current admission, the woman noticed that her eyes “felt tired.” She began to experience slight double vision. Thinking that she was working too hard, she slowed down a bit and went to bed earlier for about a week. However, she progressively felt weaker. Her legs quickly became tired, and she began having trouble chewing her food. Concerned, the woman finally went to see her doctor. After reviewing the woman’s recent history and performing a careful physical examination, the physician admitted her to the hospital for further evaluation and treatment. Over the next 48 hours, the woman’s physical status declined progressively. At the patient’s bedside, an ice pack test was positive for myasthenia gravis when her ptosis improved by 5 mm. She also indicated that her diplopia was better for about 10 minutes after the test. After the administration of edrophonium, her muscle strength increased significantly for about 10 minutes. Electromyography disclosed extensive muscle involvement and a high degree of fatigability in all the affected muscles. A diagnosis of myasthenia gravis was recorded in the patient’s chart. The woman began to choke and aspirate food during meals, and a nasogastric feeding tube was inserted. Her speech became increasingly more slurred. Both her upper eyelids drooped, and she was unable to hold her head off her pillow on request. The respiratory therapists who monitored her forced vital capacity, maximum inspiratory pressure, pulse oximetry, and ABGs reported a progressive worsening in all parameters. When the woman’s ABGs were pH 7.32, PaCO2 51 mm Hg, HCO3– 23 mEq/L, PaO2 59 mm Hg, and SaO2 88% (on room air), the respiratory therapist called the physician and reported an assessment of acute ventilatory failure. The doctor had the patient transferred to the intensive care unit, intubated (no. 7 endotracheal tube with a tube length charted at 23 cm at the lip), and placed on a mechanical ventilator. The initial ventilator settings were synchronized intermittent mechanical ventilation (SIMV) mode, frequency 10 breaths/min, tidal volume 600 mL, FIO2 0.50, and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of +5 cm H2O. On these ventilator settings, her ABG values were pH 7.28, PaCO2 64 mm Hg, HCO3– 29 mEq/L, PaO2 52 mm Hg, and SaO2 81%. About 45 minutes after the patient was placed on the ventilator, she appeared agitated. No spontaneous ventilations were seen. Her vital signs were blood pressure 132/86 mm Hg, heart rate 90 beats/min, and rectal temperature 38°C (100.5°F). A portable chest radiograph had been taken, but the image was still being processed. Normal vesicular breath sounds were auscultated over the right lung, and diminished-to-absent breath sounds were auscultated over the left lung.
