Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting a respiratory therapist with chest physiotherapy for patients with ineffective cough. For which patient might this therapy be recommended?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Chest physiotherapy may help loosen and mobilize secretions, increasing mucus clearance. This is especially helpful for patients with large amounts of secretions or an ineffective cough, such as patients with cystic fibrosis. Chest physiotherapy has limited evidence for its effectiveness and is not recommended for use in numerous patient populations, including children with pneumonia, adults with COPD, and postoperative adults (Andrews et al., 2013; Lisy, 2014; Strickland et al., 2013).
