You are preparing to send diagnostic testing requests to the hospital and you notice that your coworker has written the diagnosis of the fractured clavicle on a request for an X-ray of the small intestine. How would sending the test request as it is written might affect the patient?

By providing supportive care and listening to the patient.

Tbh i think it’s an odd coincidence, maybe you “predicted the future” it’s happened to me before but i wouldn’t doubt it if you did but i hope you have fun

20 times a minute is usually the average respritory rate of an adult. additionally the patient is breathing on his own, is clearly maintaining his airway, and is intaking a sufficient amount of air. you shouldn't use a bag valve mask, cpap, or other form of positive pressure ventilation, unless the patient has lost control of his airway, and is not breathing (apneic) or has rapid breathing or slow and shallow respirations. this patient would most likely and should be put on an non-rebreather mask or nrb attached to 100% high flow oxygen at 15 l/min. don't use a nasal cannula, as the amount of oxygen it provides is limited with a rate of 6 l/min.
