Question 1 of 5
A nurse teaches a client to use a room humidifier after a laryngectomy. Which statement would the nurse include in this patient's teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Make sure you clean the humidifier to prevent infection. This is important because a dirty humidifier can harbor bacteria and mold, leading to respiratory infections in a laryngectomy patient who is already at a higher risk of respiratory complications. Cleaning the humidifier regularly helps maintain a safe and healthy environment for the patient. Incorrect choices: A: Adding peppermint oil can irritate the airway and is not recommended for laryngectomy patients. C: Keeping the humidifier filled with water at all times can lead to bacterial growth if the water is not changed regularly. D: Using the humidifier constantly can lead to over-humidification, which can also increase the risk of respiratory infections.
