Question 1 of 5

A nurse teaches a patient about atelectasis. Which statement by the patient indicates an understanding of atelectasis?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. By stating that it is important to do breathing exercises every hour to prevent atelectasis, the patient demonstrates an understanding of atelectasis as a condition involving the collapse of alveoli due to factors like shallow breathing or not fully expanding the lungs. Doing breathing exercises can help prevent this collapse by promoting lung expansion and maintaining proper airflow.


Choice A is incorrect because a chest tube is not typically used to treat atelectasis, which is not primarily caused by excess fluid accumulation.
Choice B is incorrect as hyperventilation can actually lead to respiratory alkalosis and is not a recommended method for preventing atelectasis.
Choice C is incorrect as atelectasis can affect anyone, not just those with chronic conditions like emphysema.
