NCP Ineffective Breathing Pattern

The document outlines a nursing assessment, diagnosis, plan of care, and evaluation for a patient with an ineffective breathing pattern. The diagnosis is ineffective airway clearance due to secretions in the bronchi. The short term goal is for the patient to maintain an effective breathing pattern within 6 hours. Interventions include assessing breathing, positioning the patient properly, encouraging deep breathing techniques, providing medications, and ambulating the patient. The long term goal is for the patient to feel rested with a normal breathing pattern after 3 days.
