While in the dining room at the hospital, the nurse notes a visitor has forceful coughs. Which actions would the nurse take to assist this visitor?
Select all that apply:

Start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Assist the client to a sitting position on the ﬂoor.

Allow the visitor to cough.

Assess for a weak ineﬀective cough.

Perform the Heimlich maneuver.

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : C,D

If a visitor in the dining room at the hospital has a forceful cough, the nurse should first allow the visitor to continue coughing. Coughing is a natural reﬂex that helps clear the airway of foreign objects or mucus. The nurse should also assess the eﬀectiveness of the cough. If the cough is weak or ineﬀective, further intervention may be necessary.

Starting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or performing the Heimlich maneuver would only be appropriate if the visitor is choking and unable to breathe. Assisting the client to a sitting position on the ﬂoor may not be necessary and could potentially cause harm.
