Step 1-
Your diaphragm moves down as it contracts. Your ribs move outward. These movements make the space inside the chest larger.
Step 2-

Air rushes in through the nose and mouth and passes through the throat. Air then moves past the epiglottis which is open into the trachea.

Step 3

Air moves into your bronchi. The bronchi branch out and end in tiny air sacs, called alveoli.

Step 4

<span>Air moves into your alveoli. Oxygen moves through the walls of alveoli and capillaries, entering the blood.</span>

Step 5

Carbon dioxide moves from the blood through the walls of capillaries and alveoli in order to be expelled by the lungs.

Step 6

Your diaphragm moves up as it relaxes. Your ribs move inward. These movements make the space inside the chest smaller.

Step 7

<span>Your lungs are squeezed and air is pushed out of the alveoli. The air travels back through your bronchi, trachea, and nose and mouth.</span>

A nurse is caring for a client who just had a gastrectomy. what should the nurse emphasize when teaching the client how to avoid
Nimfa-mama [501]
The nurse should tell the patient to eat small meals with low carbohydrate and moderate fat content. This is because small meals with low carbohydrate, moderate fat, and high protein are recommended; these are processed more readily and avoid rapid stomach emptying. Rest, not activity, after meals assists in limiting dumping syndrome. Fluid intake with meals should be in moderation. Fluids with meals cause rapid emptying of the food from the stomach into the jejunum before it is sufficiently subjected to the digestive process; the hyperosmolar mixture causes a fluid shift to the jejunum. A high-Fowler position will not reduce the risk of dumping syndrome.
