  • Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is a respiratory disease that lasts approximately 14 days, usually attacks the throat, nose and lungs. The causes of ARI consist of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and aspiration. Common clinical signs and symptoms that are often obtained are rhinitis, sore throat, cough with thick yellow/white phlegm, retrosternal pain and conjunctivitis. Body temperature increases between 4-7 days accompanied by malaise, myalgia, headache, anorexia, nausea, vomiting and insomnia. If the increase in temperature lasts a long time, it usually indicates a complication. (Suriani, 2018). The problem that is often found in patients with ARI is shortness of breath which can lead to ineffective breathing patterns. Interventions that can be carried out in ARI patients are oxygen therapy (Tyas, 2017). The purpose of providing oxygenation with is to maintain and meet oxygen needs (Rahayu & Harnanto, 2016). The purpose of this study was to determine the description of Nursing Care Ineffective Breathing Patterns in Children with Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) with Oxygen Administration in the Flamboyant Room, Dr. Dradjat Prawiranegara Serang. The design of this research is descriptive using case study method. The research subjects were 2 patients with ARI in the Flamboyan Room RSUD dr. Dradjat Prawiranegara. Data collection techniques were described in a narrative manner and carried out by interview techniques (the results of the anamnesis contained the identity of the client, chief complaint, history of present and past illness), observation or physical examination. The results of the case studies in patient 1 and patient 2 with ARI patients obtained one diagnosis, namely ineffective breathing patterns related to respiratory effort resistance. After 4 days of nursing care, it was found that shortness of breath decreased, breathing was within normal limits and treatment was given according to the program. The conclusion from the family case of patient 1 and patient 2 with ARI sufferers is that the problem is resolved as expected. Suggestions from this case study are early prevention so that patients do not experience ARI again.
