A patient's incentive spirometry goal is 1500 mL but they consistently achieve only 600 mL on postoperative day 1. The nurse's best intervention is to:
-
A
Document and accept limited effort as normal postop
-
B
Administer a bronchodilator and reassess
-
C
Provide pain medication before sessions and coach proper technique
-
D
Discontinue incentive spirometry and use flutter valve instead
