IDENTIFY COMPETENCY
NUMBER, LETTER AND
SUBCATEGORY
In this learning experience, I have learned to watch out for signs and
symptoms of oxygen deprivation such as shortness of breath, difficulty
breathing, cyanosis, use of accessory muscles, changes in mental status
(decreased), restlessness, confused, agitated and changes in vital signs
(increased respirations, heart rate, blood pressure and SaO2 less than
95%). Furthermore if I recognized these signs and symptoms I will
administer oxygen to my client as per doctors order. It relates to the
competency because I am using my knowledge and skills that I have
acquired to identify if the client needs to be given oxygen. This learning
was meaningful because by recognizing objective and subjective data that
indicates the need for oxygen, I can prevent the client from experiencing
further complications of oxygen deprivation and I can stabilize the clients
vital signs and oxygen saturation by administering oxygen as early as
possible.
