How might you describe the breathing process to a patient?

You would want to make sure to explain the process in terms that the patient can understand. Beginning to explain, you would let them know that the process begins when you inhale. When you are inhaling, this triggers your diaphragm to become tight (causing a contraction). This helps your diaphragm to then move down and allows for more space in your chest. This open space is room for your lungs, which then open into that space.
