Monitor for signs of respiratory failure, for example, cyanosis and severe tachypnea. Elevate head of bed; change position frequently. Assist client with frequent deep-breathing exercises. Demonstrate and help client, as needed; learn to perform activity, such as splinting chest and effective coughing while in upright position. Perform treatments between meals and limit fluids when appropriate. Suction, only as needed, for example, oxygen desaturation related to airway secretions. Force fluids to at least 2500 mL per day, unless contraindi- cated, as in HF. Offer warm, rather than cold, fluids. Collaborative Assist with and monitor effects of nebulizer treatments and other respiratory physiotherapy, such as incentive spirometer, intermittent positive-pressure breathing (IPPB), percussion, and postural drainage. Administer medications, as indicated, for example, expecto- rants, bronchodilators, and analgesics. Provide supplemental fluids such as IV, humidified oxygen, and room humidification. Monitor serial chest x-rays, ABGs, and pulse oximetry readings. (Refer to ND: impaired Gas Exchange, following.)
