MONITOR VITAL SIGNS
Monitor the patient’s temperature; the Nursing Management
infection usually begins with a high
temperature; monitor the respiratory rate
of the patient
NURSING INTERVENTIONS
MONITOR O2 SATURATION
Presentations are communiation tools.
Monitor the patient’s O2 saturation
because respiratory compromise results
in hypoxia.

MAINTAIN RESPIRATORY ISOLATION

Keep tissues at the patient’s bedside; dispose secretions
properly; intsruct the patient to cover mouth when coughing
