Question 1 of 5
A client recovering from surgery asks the nurse why turning,deep breathing and coughing exercises need to be done. How should the nurse respond?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: These exercises help prevent pneumonia. Deep breathing and coughing exercises help to expand the lungs, improve oxygenation, and clear secretions, reducing the risk of pneumonia post-surgery. Thrombophlebitis prevention is more related to mobilization and leg exercises, not deep breathing. The fact that the doctor ordered the exercises or all surgical clients must do them does not explain the rationale behind why they are necessary. The key is understanding the physiological benefits of these exercises in preventing pneumonia in post-operative clients.
