Test Rationale/Citation
CXR To rule out other causes for cough and respiratory distress, such as an infectious process, cardiac
dysfunction, or pneumothorax. (Ash & Diaz, 2017).
Spirometry To measure the amount of air inhaled and exhaled from an individual. After a patient takes a full breath
in, a TLC or total lung capacity is measured; A forced vital capacity (FCV) can be measured by
measuring the amount of air pushed out on expiration. A residual volume (RV), is then measured,
when the lungs have been emptied. In an asthmatic patient, this procedure is completed. A treatment
of a bronchodilator can then be administered to open the airways. A repeat test is then completed. An
A: Assessment
Medical Diagnoses. Provide 3 differential diagnoses which may provide an etiology for the CC. The first diagnosis (presumptive
diagnosis) is the diagnosis with the highest priority. Provide the ICD-10 code and pertinent findings to support each diagnosis.
P: Plan
Address all 5 parts of the comprehensive treatment plan. If you do not wish to order an intervention for any part of the treatment plan, write
“None at this time” but do not leave any heading blank. No intervention is self-evident. Provide a rationale and evidence-based in-text citation for
each intervention.
improvement of the pulmonary function testing after administration of a bronchodilator can aid in the
diagnosis and treatment effectiveness for asthmatic patients. (Dempsey and Scanlon, 2018).
FeNo Testing FeNo testing uses a device to measure the amount of exhaled nitric oxide, which in an individual
during an asthmatic event, will elevate as the inflammation in the airways causes the nitric oxide levels
to increase. ( Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), 2019).
Provocation (Trigger) Test Administered to the patient is small doses of an irritant, to assess for asthma triggers, exercise, to
assess for activity intolerance, and methacholine, to assess for other causes of respiratory distress.
(AAFA, 2019).
Peak Flow Meter Testing The patient will be instructed and given a peak flow meter for testing how well air is moving in and out
of the lungs. This meter may be beneficial in noting if the patient is nearing an asthmatic event, and
also if medications are successful. (AAFA, 2019).
