Enapril is frequently used in emergencies because it takes effect quickly when supplied through vein injection (Trevor& Chipps, 2018). Metoprolol, a medication used to treat hypertension and congestive heart failure, is also given to the patient. Since the patient's heart rate is irregular, utilizing this drug can prevent heart failure from getting worse. (Trevor & Chipps, 2018). In order to lessen the patient's congestive heart failure-related pain, the doctor also gives the patient morphine. This drug is also helpful in reducing stress, which can lead to symptoms of hypertension (Trevor & Chipps, 2018). A short-acting bronchodilator that is inhaled can quickly ease asthma attacks by widening the airways. This is beneficial because the patient claims that she continues to smoke on a regular basis and feels as though she cannot breathe (Trevor & Chipps, 2018). Additionally, the patient is prescribed an inhaled corticosteroid to treat their asthma and enhance lung function. The final nursing intervention entails the delivery of oxygenat a rate of 2L/NC. This is intended to increase patient's access to oxygen in their lungs. (Trevor & Chipps, 2018).
