Review of previous class

Introduction Asthma is a chronic lung disease affecting people of all ages. It is caused by inflammation
and muscle tightening around the airways, which makes it harder to breathe.
Symptoms can include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and chest tightness. These
symptoms can be mild or severe and can come and go over time.
Although asthma can be a serious condition, it can be managed with the right treatment.
People with symptoms of asthma should speak to a health professional.

Nursing management of laryngitis

1. The nurse instructs the patient to rest the voice
and to maintain a well-humidified environment.

2. If laryngeal secretions are present during acute

episodes, expectorant agents are suggested, along with
a daily fluid intake of 2 to 3 L to thin secretions.

3. importance of taking prescribed

medications.ent of laryngitis

Summary Laryngitis is inflammation of the larynx (or voicebox). Irritation or infection of the vocal chords causes them to swell and
cause hoarseness or complete loss of voice.
Presenting symptoms often include voice changes (patients may report hoarseness or a “raspy” voice), early vocal fatigue
(particularly in singers or professional voice users), or a dry cough. Breathing difficulties are rare (though possible) in acute
laryngitis, but the presence of significant dyspnea, shortness of breath (SOB), or audible stridor should alert the clinician that a
more dangerous disease process may be present. [2]
