B) Expectorating moderate amounts of thick, green mucus.
C) Dry, frequent cough with occasional production of sputum.
D) Less crackles today. No cough or mucus noted.
B
Feedback:
Moderate amount of thick, green mucus provides amount of sputum and description. Physical activity seems to increase is a judgment not an observation. Dry, frequent cough is descriptive, but the sputum is not described. Less crackles today does not provide enough detail and is not measureable.
