Multiple choice — select the best answer

AInhale slowly and maintain the flow indicator within the target range
BSit up straight and hold the incentive spirometer steadily
CExhale completely before taking a slow, deep breath in
DExhale quickly and then inhale rapidly to maximize lung volume

✓ Correct answer: D. Exhale quickly and then inhale rapidly to maximize lung volume Exhaling quickly and then inhaling rapidly is not a recommended technique for incentive spirometry. Proper technique involves inhaling slowly and keeping the flow indicator in the target range to ensure adequate lung expansion. Sitting up straight enhances inhalation, and exhaling completely before using the spirometer ensures maximum lung capacity utilization.
