Confirmation of B737NG turbulent air procedure/speed

Confusion in B737NG turbulence speed/procedure
Flown with many people around the world and coupled with a fairly unclear FCOM, can someone please confirm the procedure for the NG;

Light to moderate: do nothing
Severe: .76/280 kts for climb and .76/280/250 if descending. Cruise fly the FMC recommended thrust settings.

(Both situations you try and avoid and secure the cabin obviously)

I am seeing lots of people at the first sign of a jolt or puff of air, speed intervening to .76/280.

Thanks
