One of the problems that often develops in children is ARTI. Ineffective airway clearance is the inability to clear secretions or airway obstruction to maintain a patent airway. Effective coughing exercises are one of many nursing interventions that help patients with acute respiratory disorders (ARI) address poor airway clearance issues. Implementing effective coughing procedures on patient A with ineffective airway clearance due to upper respiratory tract infection at Kardinah Tegal General Hospital. Method: This study design is observational in the form of a nursing care study to explore nursing care issues in ARI with ineffective airway clearance using effective coughing techniques at Kardinah General Hospital in Tegal. The approach used is a nursing care approach that includes assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, and implementation. Result: The study found that the effective coughing procedure had an impact on clearing the airway in Patient A with a diagnosis of acute respiratory tract infection. Conclusion: It is hoped that Patient A with an upper respiratory tract infection can perform the effective coughing procedure to clear the airway.]]>
