Detailed explanation-1: -Provide nonpharmacologic strategies, such as breathing techniques, positioning, distraction and diversion. Consider pharmacologic measures, such as an opioid or benzodiazepine agent, especially for palliation or breathlessness associated with anxiety or panic attack.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nurses used several signs to infer dyspnea: tachypnea, difficulty speaking, accessory muscle use, nasal flaring, and restless movements were behaviors used frequently to assess for distress; heart rate and fearful facial expression were signs used less often (Additional file 21: Figure S18).
