A nurse is caring for a client receiving oxygen therapy through a transtracheal catheter. What is an important nursing consideration for this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse should closely monitor the oxygen flow rate continuously to ensure proper delivery and prevent complications specific to the transtracheal catheter, such as obstruction or dislodgement.
