What is a recommended practice for a client with asthma during a treatment?

  1. Avoid using steam

  2. Increase steam exposure

  3. Use high heat settings

  4. Apply excessive moisture

The correct answer is: Avoid using steam

For a client with asthma, it is highly recommended to avoid using steam during a treatment. Steam can trigger asthma symptoms, as it can lead to respiratory irritation and make it challenging for clients who are already dealing with breathing difficulties. Individuals with asthma typically have sensitive airways, and exposure to warm, moist air may exacerbate their condition. Therefore, maintaining a comfortable environment that does not include steam is crucial for their safety and comfort during treatments. This helps ensure the client has a positive experience without the risk of triggering an asthma attack. Other options, such as increasing steam exposure, using high heat settings, or applying excessive moisture, would not be advisable for an asthmatic client, as they could further irritate the respiratory system and lead to adverse reactions.
