The use of incentive spirometers is valuable in assisting the patient to perform adequate respiratory ventilation to prevent pneumonia.

Answer to Question 2

C

Today's parents do, however, often enjoy satisfying adult-to-adult relationships with their grown children. Today's parents are free from responsibilities for their adult children more than any generation before, and many actively enjoy that freedom in middle age and later life.
