Which intervention should the nurse prioritize to promote effective airway clearance in a client with impaired oxygenation?
Incentive spirometry exercises help promote lung expansion but are not directly aimed at airway clearance
Bronchodilator medications are primarily used to alleviate bronchospasm and improve airflow, but they may not directly address airway clearance.
Encouraging deep breathing and coughing Explanation: Deep breathing and coughing help to mobilize and clear respiratory secretions, promoting effective airway clearance and improved oxygenation.
Positioning the client in high Fowler's position facilitates lung expansion and may improve oxygenation but does not directly address airway clearance.
