Answer to Question 1

3. Teach the client coughing, deep breathing, and hydration
Rationale:
Coughing, deep breathing, and, hydration are essential for achieving airway clearance. Insertion of a tracheostomy and oxygen are not primary treatments for ineffective airway clearance. Elevating the head of the bed may assist the client but is not sufficient without additional interventions.

Answer to Question 2

3. The client states reducing caffeine will help.

Rationale:
The client stating that a reduction in caffeine intake will help is evidence that instruction was beneficial. The other client statements would indicate the need for additional instruction since guided imagery can be used to reduce stress and promote relaxation, and simple carbohydrates and sugars should be reduced.
