Complete Shadow Health Respiratory assessment from STU NUR504. Asthma exacerbation following cat exposure. Expiratory wheeze on auscultation, Albuterol less effective, wheezing 6/10, shortness of breath 8/10. Full respiratory examination with peak flow and auscultation documented. Diagnosis: Asthma mild persistent, inadequately controlled.
Tina Jones presents following a near-asthma attack after exposure to a cat at a family gathering. She rates wheezing at 6/10 and shortness of breath at 8/10. She has had ten subsequent episodes every 4 hours. Albuterol is becoming less effective at relieving symptoms.
The respiratory assessment covers the complete respiratory history including asthma triggers, medication use, previous attacks, and functional impact. Physical examination documents mild expiratory wheeze on auscultation, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and peak flow measurement.
Expiratory wheeze on auscultation · O2 sat documented · Albuterol PRN less effective. Diagnosis: Asthma mild persistent, inadequately controlled — requiring step-up therapy.
The Tina Jones Respiratory module usually comes down to whether students can connect symptoms, triggers, medication response, lung findings, and patient teaching into one clear asthma assessment.
Students often lose points here when the history and exam sound disconnected. Wheeze, cat exposure, peak-flow context, and poor inhaler response should all support the same respiratory picture when you document Tina Jones.
Students reviewing this module are usually trying to understand what should be documented in the history, what counts as a clinically relevant respiratory finding, and how to describe education around poorly controlled asthma. That makes the page useful for both assignment completion and content review.
