Hello My name is Lealyn Tumaob Student nurse from msu-iit. May I know your name?

So, miss Berna, the doctor has ordered chest physiotherapy for you to perform and I will be the one
assisting you, is that fine with you? Ok so the purpose of this procedure is to loosen and cough up
excessive secretions in your lungs.

Wash your hands, provide privacy.

So, since the affected area is at your top, front of your lungs (Apical Segment) I’ll have to reposition you.
So you’ll tell me if u feel any pain or discomfort.
