Answer to Question 1

B
To facilitate deep breathing the incentive spirometer encourages forced inspiration to prevent atelectasis. Every preoperative teaching program includes explanation and demonstration of postoperative exercises, which include: diaphragmatic breathing, incentive spirometry, controlled coughing, turning, and leg exercises. Coughing assists in removing retained mucus in the airways. A deep, productive cough is more beneficial than merely clearing the throat. A patient needs to anticipate postoperative discomfort and understand the importance of coughing, even when it is difficult.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D, E
Documentation serves multiple purposes, including communication, legal documentation, reimbursement, education, research, and quality process and performance improvement. Step-by-step description of how to perform procedures is in a policy and procedure manual, not a chart.
