Nursing interventions for respiratory conditions include:
1. Medication Management: Ensuring that patients take their medications as prescribed, understanding the purpose and potential side effects. 2. Oxygen Therapy: Administering oxygen to patients with hypoxemia and monitoring their oxygen saturation levels. 3. Breathing Exercises: Teaching techniques such as pursed-lip breathing or diaphragmatic breathing to improve lung capacity and efficiency. 4. Positioning: Encouraging positioning that promotes optimal lung expansion, such as sitting up or using pillows to support the upper body.
