This document provides an assessment and plan of care for a patient with severe COVID-19 and pneumonia. The patient has ineffective airway clearance due to secretions in the lungs. Short term goals include maintaining a clear airway through nursing interventions like assessing breath sounds, oxygen saturation, and teaching coughing and breathing exercises. Long term goals include the patient having normal vital signs, breath sounds, oxygen levels, and the ability to cough effectively to clear secretions after treatments.
