Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Turning, deep breathing, and coughing exercises are important for clients recovering from surgery as they help prevent the development of pneumonia. After surgery, clients may have difficulty taking deep breaths and coughing due to pain or discomfort. This can lead to the accumulation of mucus in the lungs, increasing the risk of pneumonia. By performing these exercises, clients can help clear their lungs and reduce their risk of developing this complication. While these exercises may also help prevent other complications such as thrombophlebitis, the primary reason for performing them is to prevent pneumonia.
