In this case, the intended patient outcomes were achieved. Nursing was clearly able to take a very proactive role in providing the necessary emergency patient care to prevent further patient compromise. Once the immediate physiologic danger of respiratory decompensation was treated, nursing moved on to intervene in the less-serious complications associated with OKT 3 reaction to assure maximal patient comfort. Finally, patient teaching was done both to assess the learning needs associated with the OKT 3 reaction, as well as to prepare the patient and family for administration of additional doses of OKT 3. These nursing actions resulted in a very favorable outcome for both the patient and family.
