The patient was experiencing difficulty breathing due to thick secretions causing airway obstruction. The short term goal was for the patient to be able to cough effectively and clear their own secretions within 6 hours. The long term goal was for the patient to maintain airway patency and have clear breath sounds within 5 days. Nursing interventions included positioning, turning, teaching coughing and hydration techniques, chest physical therapy, and administering bronchodilators as ordered. The plan was evaluated as successful as the patient met both short and long term goals.
