Ineffective airway clearance r/t secretions in bronchi and obstructed airway aeb
hypoxemia and dypsnea Pt will maintain a patent airway at all times
Pt will demonstrate improved ventilation and adequate oxygenation within normal parameters for her as evidenced by blood gas levels before d/c
Pt will maintain clear lung fields and remain free of signs of respiratory distress throughout hospital stay
Pt will Demonstrate effective coughing techniques after teaching session ✓Monitor resp. rate, depth, and effort, use of accessory muscles, nasal flaring, and abnml breathing patterns.
↑ respiratory rate, use of accessory muscles, nasal flaring, and abdominal breathing may indicate hypoxia.
✓Auscultate breath sounds Q1- 2 °. Presence of crackles, wheezes may signify airway obstruction, leading to or exacerbating existing hypoxia.
✓Observe sputum, noting color, odor, and volume. Normal sputum is clear or gray and minimal; abnormal sputum is green, yellow, or bloody; malodorous; and often copious.
