Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The client tells the nurse, 'I can feel the congestion in my lungs, and I certainly cough a lot, but I can't seem to bring anything up.' Which of the following actions should the nurse take to help this client with tenacious bronchial secretions?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Encouraging the client to drink 2 to 3 L of water daily is essential in helping with tenacious bronchial secretions in COPD. Adequate hydration thins mucus, making it easier to expectorate. Options A, B, and C do not directly address the issue of thinning secretions. Administering oxygen helps with oxygenation, low-salt diet is for managing hypertension, and semi-Fowler's position aids with breathing but doesn't directly address secretions.
