Nursing Care for Respiratory Issues

The patient was experiencing difficulty breathing due to viscous secretions in the airway. The nursing diagnosis was ineffective airway clearance related to excessive mucus production. The goals were for the patient to be able to expectorate secretions, know ways to decrease viscosity, and demonstrate the importance of expectoration. Interventions included positioning, deep breathing exercises, oral hydration, and bronchodilators. The goal was met after 1 hour as the patient could now expectorate secretions and understood their importance for breathing.
