Nursing Care Plan for Asthma

This document provides a nursing care plan for a patient with bronchial asthma. It includes an assessment noting signs of respiratory distress, a short-term goal of improving ventilation after 4 hours of nursing intervention, and planned nursing interventions like identifying environmental triggers and monitoring vital signs. A long-term goal is preventing symptoms that interfere with daily living. It also reviews the drug albuterol, a bronchodilator prescribed to control reversible airway obstruction and bronchospasm. Nursing implications for albuterol include assessing lung sounds and vital signs before and during administration and advising the patient on proper use.
