Question 85 Which statement indicates additional teaching is need in a client who recently was diagnosed with emphysema? "I will try to avoid smoking." "Complete bed rest is necessary." "I'll control the temperature in my home." "I'll need to clean my mouth several times a day."

The statement "Complete bed rest is necessary" indicates that additional teaching is needed. While rest is important, excessive bed rest can actually hinder recovery and lead to further complications. Emphysema patients are often encouraged to stay active within their limits to maintain lung capacity and overall strength. On the other hand, managing the temperature in the home is a good practice since extreme temperatures can exacerbate breathing difficulties. Emphysema patients should also maintain good oral hygiene, making the statement about cleaning the mouth several times a day a positive habit to encourage in their routine.
