Nurse Inda : "Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Ms. Jelita. I understand you’re
having some trouble breathing. I’ll give you oxygen through a nasal cannula to
help raise your oxygen levels and make it easier to breathe. I’m also going to
adjust your bed, raising it so you’ll be in a High-Fowler’s position. This position will
allow your lungs to expand more fully, making breathing more comfortable."
Ms. Jelita : "Waalaikumsalam. Okay, will the nasal cannula hurt?"

Nurse Indah : "No, not at all. It’s a soft device with two small prongs that rest gently inside your
nostrils. You might feel a bit of cool air, but it won’t cause any pain."
Ms. Jelita : "How much oxygen will I be getting?"

Nurse Indah : "I’ll start with a flow rate of 3 liters per minute (LPM). It’s a moderate amount of
oxygen to help improve your breathing. I’ll monitor your oxygen levels with a
pulse oximeter, which clips onto your finger, to make sure you’re improving."
I will raise the bed to Fowler’s position and ensure that you are comfortable. I’ll
keep monitoring your condition, and I’ll check your oxygen levels again soon. 1)
________________________________________. How does that feel now that
you’re sitting upright? This position helps by reducing pressure on your
diaphragm, giving your lungs more room to expand."

Ms. Jelita : " Yes, it’s a bit easier to breathe like this. What if my nose gets dry from the
oxygen?"

Nurse Indah : "That’s a good question. 2) _________________________________________
_____________________. It will add moisture to the air to keep your nasal
passages comfortable."

Ms. Jelita : "Alright. 3)______________________________________. Thanks for explaining
everything."

Nurse Indah : “I will now place the nasal cannula in your nostrils, securing the tubing behind his
ears. I will connect the tubing to the flowmeter and adjusts the oxygen to 3 LPM.
How are you feeling now, Mr. Smith?"

Ms. Jelita : "It’s getting a little easier to breathe."

Nurse Indah : "In summary, I’ve started your oxygen therapy through a nasal cannula set at 3
liters per minute to raise your oxygen levels. I’ve also adjusted your position to
High-Fowler’s to help your lungs expand more easily. Our goal is to increase your
SpO2 from 88% to above 94%. 4) ______________________________________.
it is already about 15-20 minutes to make sure everything is improving as
expected. Please let me know if you experience any discomfort, such as dizziness,
shortness of breath, or dryness in your nose, so I can assist you immediately.”

Ms. Jelita : "Thank you, Nurse. I appreciate your help."
