100% CORRECT GUARANTEEED GRADE

Opening Scenario
John Taylor is a 68-year-old African-American male with a history of
type II diabetes and hypertension who came to the emergency
department (ED) triage window because he felt crummy;
complaining of a headache, runny nose, feeling weaker, “achy all
over” and hot to the touch and sweaty the past two days.
When he woke up this morning, he no longer felt hot but began to
develop a persistent “nagging cough” that continued to worsen
throughout the day. He has difficulty “catching his breath” when he
gets up to go to the bathroom.
John is visibly anxious and asks, “Do I have that killer virus that I
hear about on the news?”
First Question a Nurse Must Ask:
With this first set of clinical data in the opening scenario, the first
and most crucial question, the nurse must answer for this case and
in practice is:
What clinical data is RELEVANT and must be NOTICED as
clinically significant by the nurse?
1. What did you notice?
He has preexisting conditions, hypertension and diabetes,
and has the signs and symptoms of COVID_19
2. What additional clarifying questions do the triage nurse
need to ask John to determine if his cluster of physical
symptoms is consistent with COVID-19?
Has he been in contact with anyone sick or displaying signs of
COVID, has he been out of the country and how long has he felt
this way/ when did the symptoms begin.
