Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
Topics that will be included in this client's discharge teaching include pursed lip breathing, pos-tural drainage techniques, medication education, and safe sexual activity. Diet is not generally a factor in this disease process.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Guidelines for good respiratory health include pneumonia immunization, annual influenza im-munization, avoiding exposure to smoke and pollutants, smoking cessation, avoiding individuals with respiratory illness, promptly treating respiratory infections, and hand hygiene. Although weight reduction and a low-sodium, low-fat diet are important, neither is directly related to res-piratory health.
