, Present Problem:
You are the nurse caring for Anthony Robinson, a 67-year-old African American male patient with a history of heart
failure and iron deficiency anemia who was admitted to the medical floor from the emergency department earlier this
morning for low hemoglobin. Mr. Robinson’s initial hemoglobin was 6.2 and the primary care provider ordered 2 units of
packed red blood cells (PRBC). He received the first unit in the emergency department (ED) over 90 minutes and
tolerated well with no change in status.
Current Labs (ED):
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
WBC HGB Hct PLTs
7.5 6.2 34 154
Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) + Mg
Na K Cl CO2 BUN Creat. Gluc Mg
143 3.5 110 26 16 1.1 132 1.8
The second unit was started after he arrived on the floor and is nearly 2/3 finished. You are rounding on your other
patients when Mr. Robinson presses his call light and states “I feel like I can’t catch my breath.” When you enter the
room, you see Mr. Robinson in bed breathing rapidly and he appears anxious.
1. What data from the present problem is RELEVANT and must be NOTICED as clinically significant by the nurse?
(NCSBN: Step 1 Recognize cues/NCLEX: Reduction of Risk Potential)
RELEVANT Data from Present Problem: Clinical Significance:
Hx of heart failure and iron -His hgb and hct levels are both low whoch is most
deficiency anemia likely due to the anemia but could also result from
hgb- 6.2 blood loss
hct- 34 -Hgb is what transports O2 throuhgout the ody to the
Tachypnea (increase RR) tissues, so with the hgb level being so low, it is of
concern that there is not enough O2 being
distributed throuhoughout the body.
- Increase RR could be due to feeling anxious and
trying to compensate for the feeling of not being
able to catch his breathe
Recognizing a potential problem, you stop the
blood, allowing saline to infuse TKO, and
promptly collect a full set of VS before
contacting the primary care provider:
Current VS: P-Q-R-S-T Pain Assessment:
T: 98.2 F/36.8 C (oral) Provoking/Palliative:
P: 102 (regular) Quality: Denies
R: 28 (regular) Region/Radiation:
BP: 138/89 Severity:
O2 sat: 87% RA Timing:
