Coughing is the body’s way of removing foreign material or mucous from the lungs and throat. The two general classifications of cough are productive coughs (producing phlegm or mucous from the lungs) and nonproductive coughs (dry and not producing any mucous or phlegm). Coughs are also divided into acute (less than 3 weeks’ duration) and chronic (more than three weeks’ duration). Acute cough is most often caused by the common viral upper respiratory tract infection. Chronic cough may be caused by a variety of underlying diseases including asthma, cystic fibrosis, allergies, GERD and chronic post nasal drip.

Regarding your NCP for Cough, I noticed that the following SUBJECTIVE cues such as “dyspnea” and “fatigue” (only felt by the patient), were written under the OBJECTIVE cues (signs as observed by the nurses). Such is a common mistake, since dyspnea should be converted into something observable such as any of the ff examples: (abnormal RR, nasal flaring, use of accessory muscles for breathing, chest retraction) to include it among the valid OBJECTIVE cues. One thing more, only the VITAL SIGNS that are not normal and related to the Nsg Dx given should be written under these OBJECTIVE cues.
