A nurse is contributing to the care plan of an older adult client who has pneumonia. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Increased fluid intake thins secretions, aiding clearance in pneumonia. Coughing and deep breathing are helpful but not the primary intervention, and N-95 respirators or full ADL independence are not indicated.
