Q

how would you explain an incentive spirometer

A

encourage voluntary deep breathing by providing visual feedback

suck in (inhale) until ball raises and you can’t inhale any longer, hold breath for 5 secs, exhale normally

24
Q

name 2 breathing exercises that require no equipment and how would you explain them

A

pursed lips = breathe in slowly through nose for 2 counts, purse lips as if you are going to whistle, breathe out for 4

deep breathing & coughing = breathe in slowly through nose for 3 counts, keeping mouth close, exhale slowly through mouth and cough at end of exhale
