The patient was having difficulty breathing without oxygen. An assessment found increased respiratory rate, wheezing, productive cough, and inability to clear secretions. The diagnosis was ineffective airway clearance due to excess secretions. Short term goals were to maintain or improve airway patency through monitoring, hydration, positioning, rest, and clearing secretions. Long term goals were for the patient to demonstrate behaviors to maintain a clear airway. Nursing interventions like oxygen, bronchodilators, and secretion removal were aimed at improving respiratory status over 3 days.
