The nurse assisting the health care provider should ask the client to do a certain action which is perform the Valsalva maneuver. This is an action being performed by which an individual moderately forces his or herself into doing exhalation against a closed airway by having his or her mouth the be closed with the nose shut and exhaling as if the person is blowing a balloon.
