Mr. T was the driver, and he was wearing a seatbelt. His compact car collided head-on with a full-size pickup truck. There was no evidence of alcohol or drug involvement, and the only history that can be obtained is that he has a pre-existing chronic lung problem. Why would the nurse need to obtain more information about his lung problem?

Certain lung conditions might make it so Mr. T was more likely to have a punctured lung, need a ventilator, or even the types of medicine and treatment he can receive. But I'm not a doctor or nurse so these are just theories.

lifetime activities are certain actions that are either required throughout your life or you choose to do them. for example, eating is considered a lifetime activity, drinking water or other beverages, keeping your body clean, taking medicine. those types of actions are considered lifetime activities.
