Correct Answer: 1,2,3
When documenting the observation of a client using the prescribed incentive spirometer, the nurse will include the type of spirometer used, the number of breaths taken, and any education that was provided to the client and family. Medication administration is not documented in the nursing notes, but in the medication administration record. The client's code status is not relevant to this situation.
