Within 4hours of nursing intervention, the patient will manage to maintain a patent airway
After one week of nursing intervention, the patient will manifest decrease of secretions in a i r w a y and effective breathing,
Short term: 1.) Place patient into high fowlers position maximize lung expansion and decrease respiratory effort After almost 8 hours of Nursing Interventions, the patient: [Link] stable and normal vital signs (BP, RR, PR, Temp) 2. Manifest clear breath sounds as manifested by absence of wheezes [Link] effectively through capability to expectorate all accumulated secretions 4. Adhere and comply to all therapeutic regimens like medications
2.) Advise mother to helps to do manually loosen back tapping or dislodge secretions
3.) Teaching the child deep breathing and coughing exercises
This will promote proper lung expansion.
4.) Auscultate lung fields, noting areas of decrease or absence of airflow and
To identify areas of consolidation and determine possible bronchospasm
