Sir, tell me the location of the pain and on the scale of 1-10, 10 being the highest, how severe is the pain
I think it is 6/10 and the pain is heavy in my chest that radiates in my shoulders
I am nurse lei and I will be assisting you for today.
I am Nestor, I am experiencing chest pain
Sir, sit or rest in a semi-fowler's position and I will administer nitroglycerin. Rest assured that I will be with you until you feel better
I will also administer oxygen to assist with the relief of symptoms
I will continue to monitor your vital signs and assess if chest pain is relieved by rest and medication
I will also ask you some questions to completely assess you
Thank you nurse.
As much as possible, I encourage you to bed rest for now with the back elevated to help decrease chest discomfort
Frequently change positions to help fluid pooling in your lungs
I am getting better!
