Abstract:
Tuberculosis was an infectious disease caused by infection with the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis transmission comes from the sprinkling of sputum of patients with positive smear that is contaminated in the air and inhaled by healthy individuals. Tuberculosis is still a health problem that poses a serious threat to people around the world. Tuberculosis disease control is exacerbated by a lack of knowledge about the symptoms and transmission of diseases that can increase the risk of contracting Tuberculosis. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Based on the results of the assessment, client 1 said that his throat hurts when he coughs until he feels short of breath. The patient said that he had coughed up phlegm since 1 month ago but was not treated. While client 2 said that the cough with phlegm had not gone away since 3 weeks ago but is getting worse now because it is accompanied by shortness of breath and the body feels weak, so that it is obtained in client 1 and client 2 using nursing diagnoses ineffective airway clearance related to respiratory tract infections. Based on the results of nursing planning, on client 1 and client 2 using the IDHS reference so that a nursing diagnosis of ineffective airway clearance was obtained, SLKI was airway clearance and SIKI was airway management. Based on the results of nursing implementation, client 1 and client 2 seemed cooperative and nursing actions could be implemented. Based on the nursing evaluation, on client 1 and client 2 it was found that the problem was partially resolved, so that the intervention was continued until the problem was resolved.
