Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Incentive spirometry is also known as sustained maximal inspiration, where the patient is encouraged to take slow and deep breaths to improve lung function and prevent respiratory complications. A is incorrect as pulse oximetry measures oxygen saturation in the blood, B is incorrect as arterial blood gases measure the pH and oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood, and C is incorrect as deep breathing and coughing are techniques used for airway clearance but not the same as incentive spirometry.
