➡️ Chest physiotherapy with percussion has been ordered for a 64-year-old female patient who has a history of bronchiectasis. Immediately after starting the therapy, the patient begins to cough up a small amount of fresh blood. Which of the following would you recommend?
A. Provide supplemental oxygen and continue the therapy
B. Report the finding in the patient’s chart and continue the therapy
C. Immediately stop the therapy and notify the physician
D. Immediately stop the therapy and recommend mechanical ventilation

➡️ Rationale:
To get this one correct, you basically just needed to know how to respond as a Respiratory Therapist when a patient is coughing up blood. In general, whenever a patient is showing signs of hemoptysis, it should always be taken seriously. That is because, it could potentially be a sign of lung cancer or other serious lung infections such as tuberculosis. As a Respiratory Therapist, if you have a patient with hemoptysis, you should always stop the current treatment, stay with the patient until they are stable, and notify the physician.
