A preschool age child undergoing endotracheal suctioning
Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse is observing a newly licensed nurse who is performing endotracheal suctioning for a preschool age child. Which of the following actions by the newly licensed nurse requires the charge nurse to intervene?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Introducing the catheter without suction. When performing endotracheal suctioning, it is crucial to apply suction while introducing the catheter to effectively remove secretions. Introducing the catheter without suction can result in ineffective suctioning and potential harm to the child.
A: Applying suction for 20 seconds is within the recommended time frame for suctioning.
C: Rotating the catheter while suctioning helps to ensure thorough removal of secretions.
D: Allowing the child to rest between suctioning passes is important to prevent hypoxia and maintain oxygenation.
In summary, choice B is incorrect because it goes against the fundamental principle of effective suctioning, while choices A, C, and D are all appropriate actions during endotracheal suctioning for a preschool-age child.
