1) Informing clients about their current illness or health status will encourage them to follow medical treatment regimes while also allowing them to figure out personalized coping strategies (Bastable & Alt, 2014). Having this information will result in the chances of complications to decrease (Bastable & Alt, 2014). Evaluating the clients knowledge gaps and filling them in will not only help us care providers but will lead to better client outcomes. It is also a process that includes the client into their care and gives them the opportunity to make informed decisions.
2) Pneumonia often results in thick and viscous fluid accumulation in the lungs. It is important that these secretions are thinned in order to remove them from the airway. …show more content…
There is an alteration in breathing and kinematics of the diaphragm in our clients with this pain (Roussel, Nijs, Truijen, Smeuninx & Stassijns, 2007). Thus it is important that we manage SM’s chronic pain in order to promote easier oxygenation.
5) Breathing techniques are used to support clients in maintaining adequate oxygenation ventilation of their lungs. Pursed lip breathing will create a backpressure that will help produce a stent effect in the airway. This maintains patency of the airway, thus assisting in the emptying of air in the lungs (Damle, Shetye & Mehta, 2016). This technique can also reduce anxiety that may result from the experience of breathlessness.
Another technique is diaphragmatic breathing. This way of breathing is also referred to as abdominal and belly breathing because it requires the expansion of the abdomen. This helps train the client’s diaphragm to do most of the work that is required to breath. In order to do this, the client will place their hand on their chest and the other hand on their stomach. Then they will take in a breath through their nose; during this process their stomach should be moving out more than their chest. Once they have done this, they will then breath out with pursed lips, while gently pushing down on their stomach to get the air out (Breathing Techniques, …show more content…
This will prevent the glottis form closing, which can happen when coughing (Arbour, 2016). This technique is often used with COPD clients because it will create a higher flow rate than a normal cough. It is also an effective way to clear the upper airway, while also moving secretions upwards (Arbour, 2016). In addition to this, a technique called “the staged cough” will assist in removing secretion that may be found in pneumonia pts (Arbour, 2016). In order to carry out this technique, the client will have to sit in a chair. They will then breath 4-3 times through their mouth and cough while bending forward and pressing a pillow to their diaphragm (Arbour,
