Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 4, 5
Rationale : The volume-oriented incentive spirometer works best when the client closes the lips around the mouthpiece tightly, inhales slowly and deeply to achieve rise in the enclosed cylinder, and keeps the device level. A nose clip may be used to occlude nasal passages if the client has difficulty breathing only through the nose. The client should also be taught to cough after using the device.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: There is no need to immediately discontinue suctioning.
Rationale 2: There is no need to prepare to resuscitate the client.
Rationale 3: The client will likely not tolerate continuing the suction episode until the airway is clear.
Rationale 4: An increase in heart rate from 80 to 100 is not an unusual finding during suctioning, but does indicate increased stress on the client. The nurse should complete the suctioning episode as quickly as possible.
