Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
When assisting the client to use the incentive spirometer, it is important to ensure that the client inhale slowly with at least 8 to 10 repetitions. The client is positioned in an upright position rather than a side-lying position to allow the maximum use of the client's diaphragm when performing the procedure. The client is instructed to cough and remove as much mucus as possible before the procedure to ensure that the client can perform the procedure effectively with maximum inhalation. The client is instructed to repeat coughing or huffing at the end of the procedure to ensure that the lungs clear as much as possible.
