clients compensate for fluid loss by drinking large amounts of water (polydipsia). DI can occur

Rationale

Pursed lip breathing helps eliminate CO2 by increasing positive pressure within the alveoli
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`




increasing the surface area of the alveoli making it easier for the O2 and CO2 gas exchange to
