a. Continuous positive airway pressure
b. Incentive spirometry
c. Positive end expiratory pressure
d. Intermittent positive-pressure breathing therapy
ANS: B
Although all these approaches are used in lung expansion therapy, it should be clear that those methods that decrease Ppl (e.g., incentive spirometry) have more of a physiologic effect than those that raise Palv and often are most effective.
