This is an NCLEX review on the incentive spirometer. In this review I will cover the most important material you need to know about the incentive spirometer for the NCLEX exam and give you a practice NCLEX style question at the end.
An incentive spirometer is a device used to help improve lung function and prevent atelectasis. Atelectasis is where the lung or part of it, has collapsed and the alveoli sacs are unable to perform gas exchange. This is a very common complication for patients after surgery.
An incentive spirometer encourages the patient to regularly deep breath which helps keep the alveoli sacs open. The alveoli sacs are responsible for gas exchange and if they become affected, gas exchanged will be significantly decreased.
