Answer and explanation:

This patient, Elizabeth, seems to be having an infection in the pleural space. For her to explain her condition I would use Layman's terms and say to her: "Around our lungs, there are thin layers that cover and protect them, these layers together are called Pleura. One of these layers is attached to the lung, while the other is attached to the chest, and between them there's a space. In this space is where your infection is. Because the problem is in the right pleura, the pain you feel is in the right side of your chest. This is causing the coughing as well."
