The nurse should begin teaching about the disease process and breathing exercises to the client with a diagnosis of emphysema.
Emphysema is a disease of the respiratory system in which damage happens to the air sacs/alveoli of the lungs. This causes breathlessness in a person. Other symptoms include sound production while breathing, tightness of the chest, frequent cold and cough, etc.
Breathing exercises are essential to maximize the concentration of oxygen in the body and also get rid of the buildup of the lungs and respiratory passage. These exercises can also be helpful during emphysema to improve the air exchange via the alveoli.\
