A member asked:
Which nursing diagnoses are most appropriate for a person with wheezes, dyspnea, and tachypnea?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Asthma: But age and past history play important roles here.Most adults know if they have asthma, children may present with their first attack.On a nursing exam i'd choose asthma.Beware the "zebras" like congestive heart failure, pulmonary embolus, or copd, etc.
