The nurse is caring for a client on POD 1 after knee arthroplasty. Complete the diagram: choose the condition the client is most likely experiencing, 2 actions to take, and 2 parameters to monitor.

Nurses' Notes, POD 1, 0300

Client, 62 years old, with obstructive sleep apnea, on a hydromorphone PCA. Found difficult to arouse; opens eyes only to sternal rub. RR 8/min, shallow. SpO2 86% on room air. Pupils pinpoint. HR 64/min, BP 108/64 mm Hg. Dressing dry. Capillary glucose 128 mg/dL.

Condition

  • Keyed answer. Opioid-induced respiratory depression
  • Pulmonary embolism after arthroplasty
  • Hypovolemic shock from surgical bleeding
  • Hypoglycemia from reduced oral intake

Actions

  • Keyed answer. Stop the PCA infusion
  • Keyed answer. Give naloxone IV per protocol, titrated to breathing
  • Remind the client to press the PCA button less often
  • Increase the IV fluid rate to 200 mL/h now
  • Place the client in the Trendelenburg position

Monitor

  • Keyed answer. Respiratory rate and SpO2
  • Keyed answer. Level of sedation
  • Surgical dressing drainage
  • Pedal pulses in both feet
  • Capillary blood glucose before meals

Rationale

Bradypnea, hypoxemia, deep sedation and pinpoint pupils on a PCA mean opioid toxicity: stop the opioid, give naloxone, and watch breathing and sedation for re-sedation.
