The practical nurse (PN) reinforces client teaching in performing pursed lip breathing. The client returns the demonstration, as seen in the image. Which action should the PN take after observing this return demonstration?

A. Confirm that the client is using the correct technique: Observing a return demonstration allows the PN to verify that the client can perform pursed-lip breathing correctly. Confirming proper technique ensures the client can use this method effectively to improve ventilation and control dyspnea. B. Review each step of the breathing technique with the client: Reviewing steps is appropriate if the client demonstrates errors or uncertainty. If the demonstration is correct, repeated review is unnecessary and may not add value. C. Demonstrate how to breathe in more slowly and effectively: Additional demonstration is only needed if the client’s technique is incorrect or inefficient. Unneeded repetition may cause confusion when the client is already performing correctly. D. Remind the client to cough deeply to loosen secretions: While coughing can help clear secretions, it is not part of pursed-lip breathing instruction. Introducing unrelated techniques may distract from mastering the intended breathing method.
