Which of the following statements made by a patient with history of chronic respiratory disease indicates the need for further discharge teaching?
1. “As long as I take my medications and use my inhalers as prescribed, I should not have difficulty when traveling.”
2. “I should avoid traveling to places at higher elevations as I will have increased difficulty breathing.”
3. “To decrease my risk, any traveling I do should not be to places with recent outbreaks of respiratory illnesses.”
4. “If I am acclimated to higher elevations, I should not experience problems with worsening symptoms.”
5. “I should avoid traveling to places at higher elevations as I will have increased difficulty breathing.”

2 -- If the patient travels to elevations above 5000 feet without being acclimated, increased symptoms result from the decreased oxygen in the air at higher elevations. Travel avoidance to higher elevations and to places with recent outbreaks are correct, so would not indicate the need for further teaching. Just because the patient is acclimated to higher elevations does not preclude the patient from worsening symptoms.
