Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a chest tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Taping the connections on the client's chest tube prevents accidental disconnection, which could compromise the seal and lead to complications such as a pneumothorax.
