RATIONALE

Subjective: “nahihirapan ako huminga dahil sa ubo ko”, as verbalized by the patient.

Ineffective Airway Clearance related to thick tenacious secretions and airway obstruction as manifested by shallow respiration, tachypnea and fever.

STG: After 6 hours of nursing intervention, the cliet will be able to cough effectively and clear own secretions.

1. Monitor VS every 2 hrs. 2. encourage patient to position in highFowler’s or semiFowler’s positon. 3. turn patient every 2 hrs and prn.
