The patient, a 74-year-old male, presented with difficulty breathing and abnormal breath sounds diagnosed with bronchial asthma in acute exacerbation. Within 1-2 hours of nursing interventions, the patient will maintain or improve airway clearance as evidenced by absence of signs of respiratory distress and maintain optimal breathing. After 3 days, the patient will demonstrate behaviors to improve airway clearance and recovery.
