Cues: O > RR of 30cpm > weak > adventitious sound heard upon auscultation; crackles > with dry cough

Nursing diagnosis: Ineffective airway clearance related to retained secretions in the bronchi

Scientific basis : A part of the respiratory function is the exchange of gases, where the bronchi is the gateway of passage for gas travelling to the alveoli where gas exchange happens.

Page 20: fdar

As the passage way for proper respiration is obstructed by retained secretions, the travelling of gas in the tract is impaired.

Planning: Within 8hrs. of rendering nursing interventions, the patient will be able to identify ways to soothe dry cough by expectorating secretions.

Nursing Interventions:

Independent Rationale1. Assess respiratory rate. - provides basis confirming the presence of

shortness of breath 2. Recheck breath sounds and presence of secretions.

- identifies consolidation that causes the obstruction and shortness of breath

3. Position pt. in high/semi-fowlers position. - take advantage of gravity decreasing pressure on diaphragm and enhancing drainage of secretions on different lung segments

4. Provide back tapping. - can promote expectoration of secretions5. Encourage for slow deep respirations. - assist pt. in relaxing respiratory muscles6. Encourage to perform deep breathing and pursed lip breathing exercises.

- expels enough carbon dioxide in the lungs and inhale sufficient oxygen, promoting good ventilation

7. Demonstrate technique of effective coughing.

- aids in proper expectoration of secretions

8. Encourage to provide warm liquids than cold ones.

- warm liquids can aid in mucus liquefaction more than cold ones.

9. Encourage pt. and significant other to allow pt. minimal but increase fluid intake.

- increase intake of fluid can help liquefy the mucus secretion

10. Encourage adequate sleep periods. - limits fatigue and improves condition11. Provide good ventilation of environment, limiting allergens.

- so as not to aggravate the pt.’s condition

Dependent 1. Administer Salbutamol sulfate (Acro-vent) 1neb 2.5ml, thru nebulization.

- relaxes smooth muscle by stimulating beta2-receptor, thereby causing bronchodilation and vasodilation

Evaluation: After 8hrs. of rendering nsg. Interventions the patient was able to identify ways to soothe dry cough like deep breathing exercises and increasing fluid intake.

Cues: S > “Sakit pa gihapon ilihok akong lawas.” Painscale of 6/10O > grimace > pallor > guarding behavior on abdomen > diaphoresis > restless

Page 22: fdar

Nursing diagnosis: Acute abdominal pain related to increase peristaltic movement due to bacterial invation

Scientific basis : Pain usually is viewed in the context of tissue integrity. In the presence of invading pathogens, the GIT compensates by increasing peristaltic movement in an attempt to get rid of the invaders. Noceciptive stimulation that activates with fibers can cause a response known as neurogenic inflammation that produces vasodilation and an increase release of chemical mediator to which the receptors respond

Planning: Within 8hrs. of rendering nursing interventions, the patient will be able to verbalize pain is reduced from 6/10 to 2/10.

Nursing Interventions:

Independent Rationale1. Monitor/ document characteristics of pain, noting verbal reports, non-verbal cues, and hemodynamic response.

- variation of appearance and behavior of pt. present a challenge in assessment

2. Encourage pt. to report type and intensity of pain using pain scale.

- pain is perceived and tolerated individually; it is also a subjective experience; provides baseline for comparison to aid in determining effectiveness of care

3. Observe for crying, irritability, restlessness,sleep disturbance

- non-verbal cues may indicate indicate pain exerienced

4. Provide comfort measures, eg. back rubbing, assist self- care activities

- promotes relaxation and redirect attention

5. Encourage to perform deep breathing exercises and splinting

- promotes relaxation

6. Instruct to put ice pack on the area. - provides non-pharmacological relief of pain; 7. Instruct to report increasing pain immediately.

- prompt assessment and intervention may be given

8. Encourage to have divertional activities eg. frequent communication to SO.

- redirects feeling of pain

9. Provide a quiet, calm,restful environment - external stimuli may aggravate pain and anxiety

10. Encourage adequate rest. - provision of comfortDependent

1. Administer analgesic as ordered. - prevents the synthesis of prostaglandin from smooth muscles, inhibiting the stimulation of receptor to synthesize pain

Nursing diagnosis: Ineffective airway clearance related to productive cough

Scientific basis : Presence of retained secretions in respiratory tract impedes airflow. And inability to clear secretions results to ineffectivity of airway clearance.

Planning: Within 8hrs. of rendering nursing interventions, the patient will be able to identify ways to expectorate secretions.

Nursing Interventions:

Independent Rationale1. Assess respiratory rate. - provides basis confirming the presence of

shortness of breath 2. Recheck breath sounds and presence of secretions.

- identifies consolidation that causes the obstruction and shortness of breath

3. Position pt. in high/semi-fowlers position. - take advantage of gravity decreasing pressure on diaphragm and enhancing drainage of secretions on different lung segments

4. Provide back tapping. - can promote expectoration of secretions5. Encourage for slow deep respirations. - assist pt. in relaxing respiratory muscles6. Encourage to perform deep breathing and pursed lip breathing exercises.

- expels enough carbon dioxide in the lungs and inhale sufficient oxygen, promoting good ventilation

7. Demonstrate technique of effective coughing.

- aids in proper expectoration of secretions

8. Encourage to provide warm liquids than cold ones.

- warm liquids can aid in mucus liquefaction more than cold ones.

9. Encourage pt. and significant other to allow pt. minimal but increase fluid intake.

- increase intake of fluid can help liquefy the mucus secretion

10. Encourage adequate sleep periods. - limits fatigue and improves condition11. Provide good ventilation of environment, limiting allergens.

- so as not to aggravate the pt.’s condition

Dependent 1. Administer Ambroxol 30mg 1tab, TID p.o - inhibits phosphodiesterase, the enzyme that

degrades cAMP, thereby relaxing smooth muscle of bronchial airway and pulmonary blood vessels
