IMPLEMENTATION
-Assess respiratory rate every 10-15 minutes
-Continuously note chest movement and use of accessory muscles during respiration
-Auscultate breath sounds and note any areas with adventitious sounds, especially wet crackles
-Document any respiratory secretions such as sputum: amount, character, and consistency
-Keep patient in high Fowler’s position to allow optimum breathing
-Check for obstructions or accumulation of sputum
-Ask patient level of discomfort/pain on a scale of 1-10
-Record medication administrations and if therapeutic effects are occurring
-Describe procedures and treatment expectations
-Encourage patient to follow drug regimens
