COPD is not a curable disease but can be managed and prevention of further lung damage can be achieved through teaching and education about disease process. Which is also outline in Ivet’s teaching.

For this specific client, Ivet was able to use her critical thinking and assess that increased mucous build up is apart of the disease process and can lead to exacerbation of COPD and taught the client how to loosen and cough up the mucous to help breathing. The goals were SMART. Specific, measurable, attainable and had a time frame specific to the client’s needs.
