Question 1 of 5
A client with a tracheostomy has difficulty removing excessive, thick mucus from the respiratory tract. The nurse expects that which drug will be ordered to aid in the removal of mucus?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Guaifenesin. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that helps to thin and loosen mucus in the respiratory tract, making it easier to cough up and remove. This drug is commonly used to aid in the removal of excessive, thick mucus in clients with tracheostomies. Diphenhydramine (
A) is an antihistamine, Benzonatate (
B) is a cough suppressant, and Dextromethorphan (
D) is also a cough suppressant. These drugs do not help in thinning or loosening mucus and are not appropriate for this client's situation.
