How often should deep breathing and coughing exercises be done while awake?

1-2 hours
2-3 hours
3-4 hours
4-5 hours

The correct answer is: 1-2 hours

Deep breathing and coughing exercises should be done regularly throughout the day while awake, ideally around every 1-2 hours. Option B, 2-3 hours, and option C, 3-4 hours, are both less frequent than the recommended interval and may not provide enough benefit. Option D, 4-5 hours, is even less frequent and may not be sufficient for maintaining good respiratory health. It is important to perform deep breathing and coughing exercises at least every 1-2 hours to prevent the build-up of secretions and facilitate proper lung function.
