Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Instruct the client to make each breath deep enough to move the bottom ribs. Start with deep breaths by inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth. Deep breathing should be done hourly when awake, or four times a day.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The effects of both active and passive cigarette smoke increase airway resistance, reduce ciliary action, increase mucus production, and thicken alveolar-capillary membranes and bronchial walls. Cigarette smoke is the most important risk factor in pulmonary disease.
