Question 4 of 5
A nurse providing care of a patient's chest drainage system observes that the chest tube has become separated from the drainage device. What would be the first action that should be taken by the nurse in this situation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: When a chest tube becomes separated from the drainage device, the nurse should submerge the end in water, creating a water seal, but allowing air to escape, until a new drainage unit can be attached. This is done instead of clamping to prevent another pneumothorax. Then the nurse should assess vital signs and notify the health care provider.
