Mr. Cohen, a 75-year-old male with COPD and emphysema, was admitted to the hospital for an exacerbation of his COPD. He requires oxygen and respiratory treatments. He complains of lower back pain from keeping his bed elevated and is prescribed Percocet. After receiving Percocet, his oxygen levels decline with activity and he receives an albuterol treatment. His breathing improves but oxygen levels remain low-normal for a COPD patient. Non-pharmacological interventions and monitoring are needed to manage his pain, breathing difficulties, and oxygen levels.
