Answer to Question 1

3
An incentive spirometer assists the patient with deep breathing exercises that can help prevent atelectasis. A client would not use an intermittent positive pressure breathing device without the presence of a nurse and/or respiratory therapist. Blow bottles are not a medical device used to prevent atelectasis. Postural drainage is a technique used to drain secretions from the lung lobes.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 6
Modifiable risk factors can be changed or modified to help control hypertension. Smoking, diet, stress, and exercise can be changed to affect blood pressure. Persons with more risk factors have a greater chance of having hypertension during their lives. Family history and race cannot be modified.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
