Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The client using an incentive spirometer should exhale normally and place the lips around the mouthpiece. He or she should inhale slowly and deeply without using the nose, and when the client cannot inhale anymore, hold the breath and count to 3 before exhaling normally. This should be performed 5 to 10 times every one to two hours, if possible.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Smoking inhibits mucus removal. By producing more mucus and by slowing the mucous escalator, smoking inhibits mucus removal and can cause airway blockage, promoting bacterial colonization and infection.
