    (1) The patient reported difficulty breathing. Examination found abnormal breath sounds, elevated vital signs, and increased production of secretions. (2) Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways causing recurrent, reversible airway obstruction and episodes of wheezing and dyspnea due to hypersensitivity. (3) Nursing interventions included using accessory muscles to clear airways, administering bronchodilators, assisting coughing in an upright position, and increasing fluid intake to reduce secretion viscosity.
