Question

The nurse is preparing discharge teaching for a client with a history of recurrent pneumonia. what deep breathing techniques will the nurse plan to teach?

Answer 1

Deep breathing techniques help the lungs to recover from the loss of its capacity. This technique moves the air down to the bottom areas of the lungs, helps open air passages, and moves mucous out (which can also be facilitated through coughing). This process improves blood and oxygen supply to your lungs.
