Question 1 of 5
A client is planning to perform nasotracheal suction for a client who has COPD and an artificial airway. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Correct Answer: C Rationale: 1. Preoxygenating the client with 100% oxygen for up to 3 minutes helps prevent hypoxia during suctioning. 2. COPD patients are at higher risk for hypoxia due to impaired gas exchange. 3. Preoxygenation helps maintain oxygen saturation levels and reduces the risk of complications. 4. This action supports safe and effective nasotracheal suctioning in clients with COPD and an artificial airway. Summary: - Option A: Performing suctioning for up to four passes can increase the risk of hypoxia and mucosal damage. - Option B: Applying suction to the catheter during advancement can cause trauma and increase the risk of infection. - Option D: Limiting each suction pass to 25 seconds may not provide adequate time for effective suctioning in clients with COPD and artificial airways.
