Question 1 of 5
A nurse is performing postural drainage with percussion and vibration for a client who has cystic fibrosis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Cover the area of percussion with a towel. This is important to prevent skin irritation or discomfort during percussion. The towel acts as a barrier between the client's skin and the nurse's hand, reducing friction. Performing percussion over the lower back (
A) is incorrect as it should be done over specific lung segments. Scheduling postural drainage after meals (
C) is not ideal as it may cause discomfort due to a full stomach. Instructing the client to exhale quickly during vibration (
D) is not necessary as the focus should be on relaxation and deep breathing. Overall, choice B is the best option to ensure comfort and effectiveness during postural drainage.
