Assessment Description
The capacity to conduct and record a complete respiratory assessment constitutes a crucial competence for nursing professionals. The steps in completing respiratory assessment include an initial evaluation of the chest, documenting patient history, palpation, and percussion, followed by auscultation. Important manifestations identified during the inspection stage are respiratory depth and rate, pulse, and temperature. Palpation entailed gently examining with hand moved across the thorax systematically to identify any tenderness. Percussion assessment identifies the elicited sound as tympanic or resonant over a dull or air-filled space over a consolidation within the lungs. The nurse compares side to side within the matching anatomy areas to determine whether the sounds are the same. Lastly, auscultation entails using a stethoscope to listen to the client’s chest (Armstrong, 2020). Patients are required to breathe deeply via the mouth to magnify the sound since this enhances interpretation.
Difficulties could arise when assessing the respiratory rate, resulting in inaccurate results. There could be insufficient time due to huge workloads and issues related to completing crucial tasks, thus increasing the chances of neglecting the respiratory rate assessment. Respiratory rat...
