Therapeutic Procedures for COPD Management

Very Hard Reduction Of Risk Potential Therapeutic Procedures

A patient is scheduled for a series of therapeutic procedures aimed at managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations. These procedures include bronchodilator therapy, inhalation therapy, lung volume reduction surgery, and other interventions to improve respiratory function. As a nurse, it is essential to identify and implement nursing interventions that will reduce risk potential associated with these therapies.

Which of the following nursing interventions should the nurse include in the care plan to optimize patient outcomes during these therapeutic procedures? Select all that apply.

Select all that apply:

Educate the patient on the proper technique for using inhalers and nebulizers.

Assess the patient’s oxygen saturation before and after each procedure.

Encourage the patient to perform controlled coughing before bronchodilator therapy.

Administer bronchodilator therapy prior to patient mobility exercises.

Monitor the patient for signs of respiratory distress during and after interventions.

Review the patient's medication list for potential interactions with prescribed therapies.
