Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Many respiratory problems occur as a result of chronic exposure to inhalation irritants used in a client's occupation and hobbies.Although it will be important for the nurse to assess the client's fluid intake,height,and weight,these will not be as important as determining his occupation and hobbies.Determining the client's neck circumference will not be an important part of a respiratory assessment.
