Question 1 of 5

The nurse is assisting the client who sustained a C5 SCI to cough using the quad coughing technique. The nurse correctly demonstrates quad coughing with which actions? Select all that apply.

Correct Answer: B,E

Rationale: Stimulating a cough with a suction catheter is not associated with the quad cough technique, and it may cause regurgitation. The nurse’s hand placement and pushing upward during a cough help to overcome the impaired diaphragmatic function that occurs with a C5 SCI. Cupping the hands and percussing the lung fields is a technique to loosen secretions but is not the quad coughing technique. Hyperoxygenating the client is a measure to prevent hypoxia associated with suctioning but is not included in the quad coughing technique. Elevating the head of the bed will promote lung expansion, thus enabling a stronger cough.
