Question 1 of 5
The nurse knows that teaching about the use of the incentive spirometer is effective when the client seals the lips around the mouthpiece and:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because the client should inhale slowly to raise the ball to the desired level with deep breaths, which helps to fully expand the lungs and improve ventilation. By attempting to keep the ball raised for several seconds, the client ensures proper lung expansion and maximal benefit from using the incentive spirometer.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because blowing, forceful inspiration, and exhaling quickly are not the correct techniques for using the incentive spirometer. These actions do not promote deep breathing or optimal lung expansion, which are necessary for the effectiveness of the device.
In summary, the correct technique for using the incentive spirometer involves slow and deep inhalation to raise the ball to the desired level, followed by holding the breath for a few seconds to ensure proper lung expansion.
