Ineffective airway clearance related to hypersecretion

Nursing Interventions for Tuberculosis

Nursing diagnosis: ineffective airway clearance related to hypersecretion

characterized by a thick secretions or blood.

Objective:
  • ffective airway clearance.
Expected outcomes:
  • Finding a comfortable position that allows increased air exchange.
  • Demonstrate effective cough.
  • Stated strategy to reduce the viscosity of secretions.
Plan of Action:

1. Explain to the client about the use of effective coughing and why there is a buildup of secretions in the respiratory tract.
Rationale: Knowledge that will hopefully help develop adherence to the treatment plan.

2. Teach the client about the proper method of controlling cough.
Rationale: Uncontrollable cough is exhausting and ineffective, causing frustration.

3. Breath deeply and slowly when sitting as upright as possible.
Rationale: Allows greater lung expansion.

4. Perform respiratory diaphragm.
Rationale: Respiratory diaphragm lower frequency of breath, and increased alveolar ventilacion.

5. Hold your breath for 3-5 seconds and then slowly remove as much as possible through the mouth. Do a second breath, hold it and batukan of the chest by two short and strong cough.
Rationale: Increasing the volume of air in the lung secretions facilitate spending.

6. Auscultation of the lungs before and after coughing clients.
Rationale: This helps evaluate the effectiveness.

7. Teach client action to reduce secretion: adequate hydration, increase fluid intake 1000 till 1500 cc / day if not contraindicated.
Rational: viscous secretion is difficult to dissolve and can cause blockage of mucus that leads to atelectasis.

8. Perform chest physio claping / vibrating.
Rationale: With a gravity discharge will come out to big and ease spending alveol secretions.

9. Collaboration with other health team physicians, radiology.
  • Giving expectoran.

Activity Intolerance related to imbalance between supply and demand of oxygen

Nursing Intervntions for Heart Failure

Nursing Diagnosis : Activity intolerance related to imbalance between supply and demand of oxygen

Goals / Criteria results:
  • Clients can perform daily activities with good
Expected outcomes:
  • Participating in physical activity with blood pressure, pulse, respiration appropriate
  • Normal skin color, warm and dry
  • Said the importance of activity gradually
  • Expressing the sense of the importance of balancing exercise and rest
  • Tolerance activity
Interventions:
  • Determining the cause of intolerance activity and determine whether the cause of the physical, psychological / motivation.
  • Assess the suitability of activity and rest everyday.

  • Make sure the client change positions gradually.
  • Monitor activity intolerance symptoms.
  • When helping clients stand, observation intolerance symptoms such as nausea, pallor, dizziness, impaired consciousness and vital signs.
  • Perform ROM exercises if the client can not tolerate activity.
Rational:
  • Determining the cause can help determine intolerance.
  • Prolonged bedrest can contribute to activity intolerance.
  • Increased activity helps maintain muscle strength, tone.
  • Bedrest in the supine plasma volume causes postural hypotension and syncope →
  • Vital signs in response to orthostatic very diverse.
  • Inactivity contributes to muscle strength and joint structure.

Decrease Cardiac Output related to Myocardial Infarction

Nursing Interventions for Heart Failure

Nursing Diagnosis : Decrease Cardiac Output related to Myocardial Infarction

Goals / Criteria results:

NOC:
  • After nursing intervention on the client:
  • Clients can have a heart pump effectively,
  • status of the circulation, tissue perfusion and vital signs were normal status.

Expected outcomes:
Shows adequate cardiac output indicated by blood pressure, pulse, normal rhythm, strong peripheral pulses, without dipsnea activity and pain.
Free from side effects of medications used

Cardiac Care: acute
  • Evaluation of chest pain
  • Auscultation of heart sounds

  • Monitor the status of neurology
  • Monitor intake / output, urine output
  • Create an environment that is conducive to rest

Circulatory Care:
  • Evaluation arteries and peripheral edema
  • Monitor skin and extremities
  • Monitor vital signs
  • Move the client's position every 2 hours if needed
  • Teach ROM during bedrest
  • Monitor compliance with liquids

Rational:
  • The presence of pain suggests inadequate blood supply to the heart
  • Still a gallop rhythm, crackels, tachycardia indicate heart failure
  • Role in CNS disorders may be associated with decreased cardiac output
  • Spending urine less than 30 ml / hour showed a decrease in cardiac output
  • The emergence of signs of heart failure, showed a decrease in cardiac output
