The child diagnosed with pneumonia is being discharged home. Which intervention should the nurse discuss with the child's parents?

ExplanationCorrect answer C Cool mist will help liquefy the pulmonary secretions, which will help the child to expectorate. Parents cannot assess lungs. No one who smokes should be near the child; smoking in the house should be prohibited; and smoke smell can be on clothes when smoking outside. The child's fluid intake should be increased to help liquefy the secretions.
