Question 1 of 5
A nurse is demonstrating to a client how to perform diaphragmatic breathing. The nurse should educate the client to complete which action?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Tighten the abdominal muscles while exhaling. This is because during diaphragmatic breathing, also known as belly breathing, the focus is on the contraction of the diaphragm muscle and the expansion of the abdomen during inhalation. By tightening the abdominal muscles while exhaling, the client is able to fully expel the air from the lungs and engage the diaphragm effectively.
Choice A is incorrect because raising both shoulders while breathing deeply does not facilitate proper diaphragmatic breathing and can lead to tension in the neck and shoulders.
Choice B is incorrect as inhaling through the mouth is not a recommended technique for diaphragmatic breathing, as breathing through the nose is more efficient for deep breathing.
Choice C is incorrect as exhaling through the nose is not the primary focus of diaphragmatic breathing.
