The nurse hears the client cough and realizes the client is at risk for pneumonia due to lack of
movement. The nurse performs a lung assessment and auscultates fine crackles bilaterally in the
upper lobes. The client states that because he has smoked for 40 years, he always has a cough in the
morning.
Which action should the nurse implement?
A. Teach the client about the effects of smoking.
B. Encourage the client to ambulate in the hall three times a day.
C. Teach the client to take ten deep breaths an hour while awake.
D. Ask the client if there is a family history of lung cancer.
C. Teach the client to take ten deep breaths an hour while awake.
Deep breathing can help prevent atelectasis, which can lead to pneumonia.
The nurse demonstrates the proper technique for deep breathing. When the client returns the deep-
breathing exercise demonstration, he raises his shoulders during inspiration.
What is the best response by the nurse?
, A. Assess the client's oxygen saturation level using a pulse oximeter.
B. Help the client perform the correct technique for deep breathing exercises.
C. Encourage the client to practice this exercise regularly every 2 hours.
D. Notify the HCP that a prescription for an incentive spirometer is needed.
B. Help the client perform the correct technique for deep breathing exercises.
The client has not demonstrated the correct technique. The nurse should help him place his hands on
his abdomen above the belly button and instruct him to try to breathe in and make his hands go up. This
method is generally effective in teaching the client deep breathing by using the diaphragm (abdominal
breathing) to expand the lungs.
The client is concerned that he may become constipated due to his lack of activity and poor diet.
Which educational information would the nurse provide the client to help prevent constipation?
(Select all that apply. One, some, or all options may be correct.)
A. Increase physical activity as tolerated.
B. Drink plenty water.
C. Inform the client if he gets constipated there is a medication he can be prescribed.
D. Choose foods higher in fiber.
A. Increase physical activity as tolerated.
Physical activity increases peristalsis and helps prevent constipation.
B. Drink plenty water.
Water helps soften the stool to help it pass through the intestines.
D. Choose foods higher in fiber.
Fiber causes friction in the intestine which assists with stimulating motility.
The nurse also develops a dietary teaching plan to reduce the risk of constipation. Which dietary
selection should the nurse encourage the client to eat?
A. Peanut butter and jelly on white bread, crackers, and a diet cola.
B. Chicken Caesar salad with a whole wheat roll and skim milk.
C. Grilled cheese on rye bread, and sweet tea.
D. Fried chicken with coleslaw and a mineral water.
B. Chicken Caesar salad with a whole wheat roll and skim milk.
These foods are rich in fiber and help promote bowel function.
