Following a thoroughassessment, anursing diagnosisis formulated to specifically address the challenges associated with lung cancer based on thenurse’s clinical judgement and understanding of the patient’s unique health condition. While nursing diagnoses serve as a framework for organizing care, their us...

After an initial assessment, serial PFTs should be followed to assess response to therapy and to guide treatment decisions until recovery or stability of lung function is achieved. In acute HP, lung function typically normalizes after recovery from the acute event. In subacute HP, lung function ...

If a patient treated with positive airway pressure (PAP) for a sleep-related breathing disorder develops COVID-19, it may be assumed that analogous to NIV and aerosol therapy, this therapy increases virus transmission to the environment. In this case, an individual risk-benefit assessment must ...
characteristics that suggest malignancy include cavitation with thick or nodular cavity walls, subsolid attenuation, and intrinsic bubbly lucencies. Documentation of persistence of a subsolid nodule or nodule growth over time suggests malignancy and should prompt further assessment that often includes ...
pulse oximetry provides only a crude estimate of lung function. Arterial blood gas analysis provides more precise assessment of oxygenation and can be used to follow response to therapy. Arterial blood gas analysis often reveals hypoxemia,hypocapnia, and increased alveolar-to-arterial gradient in dogs...
