Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching pursed-lip breathing to a client who has COPD. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Exhale slowly through your mouth. This is the correct instruction for pursed-lip breathing in COPD because it helps to keep the airways open, prevent air trapping, and improve oxygen exchange. Exhaling slowly through the mouth with pursed lips creates back pressure in the airways, which prevents collapse during exhalation. This technique also helps to reduce shortness of breath and improve overall lung function.

The other choices are incorrect:
A: Lie down while practicing pursed-lip breathing - Incorrect, as the optimal position for practicing pursed-lip breathing is sitting upright to maximize lung expansion.
C: Inhale through pursed lips - Incorrect, as inhaling through pursed lips is not part of pursed-lip breathing technique.
D: Puff your cheeks when exhaling - Incorrect, as puffing the cheeks does not facilitate the desired benefits of pursed-lip breathing for COPD patients.
