Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The goal of IPPB is to assist the client to breathe more easily by liquefying mucus. The IPPB mechanical device forces room air or oxygen-rich air, combined with medications, deep into the client's airway. The client's lungs expand more completely, making secretions easier to remove. The remaining choices are goals of aerosol mist treatment.

Answer to Question 2

D
