Your final patient has a respiratory problem, so something having to do with her breathing or lungs needs to be described. Again, use at least 10 terms from the reading, especially using the respiratory medical word elements from your textbook.
A patient admitted with complaints of dyspnea, wheezing, increased sputum secretion blocking the airway constricting the bronchioles and leading to hypoxia. The patient is deprived of oxygen due to poor inspiration and increase in carbondioxide level by expiration. The patient is nebulised with bronchodilator and the breathing difficulty is controlled.

A patient on your team is experiencing difficulty breathing. There is no change in the patient's status after you elevate the head of bed, apply oxygen, have the patient use pursed lip breathing, and obtain a breathing treatment for the patient. Auscultation of the lungs demonstrates crackles bilaterally halfway up the lungs. The respiratory rate is 40 breaths/min, with an oxygen saturation level of 90% on 4 liters oxygen per nasal cannula. The patient is restless and having difficulty speaking...
Your first patient has a musculoskeletal complaint. Using the chart of musculoskeletal medical word elements from your textbook, construct 10 medical terms that would reasonably be involved in a complaint dealing with the muscles and/or bones.
