How Can Nurses Overcome Challenges in Promoting Deep Breathing?
Some patients may find it difficult to engage in deep breathing exercises due to pain, lack of understanding, or anxiety. Nurses can overcome these challenges by:
- Pain Management: Administering appropriate pain relief measures to make deep breathing more comfortable.
- Clear Instructions: Providing simple, clear instructions and demonstrations to ensure patients understand the techniques.
- Reassurance: Offering reassurance and support to alleviate anxiety and encourage participation.
