The tissue of the lung that serves only a supportive role for the bronchi,
bronchioles, and alveoli is called the lung parenchyma.
The main function of the respiratory system is to provide oxygen, the most
important energy source for the body's cells. Inspired air (the air taken in when a person
breathes) contains oxygen, and travels down the respiratory tree to the alveoli. The
oxygen moves out of the alveoli and is sent into circulation throughout the body as part of
the red blood cells. The oxygen in the inspired air is exchanged within the alveoli for the
waste product of human metabolism, carbon dioxide. The air you breathe out contains the
gas called carbon dioxide. This gas leaves the alveoli during expiration. To restate this
exchange of gases simply, you breathe in oxygen, you breathe out carbon dioxide

VII. Referrals and Follow Up
Medication
Inform patient and the significant others about the medication indicated for home
regimen, their purpose, route, frequency of administration. Explain to the patient and
family the importance of taking the prescribed drugs to promote faster recovery and for
maintenance of health as well. Warn the patient about the side effects of the drugs that
may occur during the course of pharmacologic treatment. Refer to physician any adverse
reactions or complications such as infection or hypersensitivity to provide immediate
interventions. Educating the patient and the family regarding all that pertains to
administration of medications at home is essential for an effective independent
management of the above mentioned party towards the betterment of the patient’s
condition.
Hygiene
Inculcate the importance of taking a full bath everyday to achieve a refreshing
feeling thus promoting proper hygiene and cleanliness. Explain to patient the importance
of a clean environment inside and outside the home, free from sources of harmful organic
and inorganic substances. Tell the family to maintain sanitary practices especially in
disposing wastes and garbage. The first line of defense against infections and disease is
the proper hygiene. An environment having less if not free from pathogenic
microorganisms is ideal for health restoration and maintenance.
Spiritual
Encourage the family to continuously provide emotional support to anchor the
patient towards recovery. Encourage the patient to establish a good relationship with
GOD to have a source of strength and ask forgiveness after committing an abortion. The
spirituality of the patient developed by the family provides a stable foundation upon
which the situation is faced with faith and hope for a better future.
