Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has a tracheostomy. After suctioning the tracheostomy, the nurse should use which of the following findings to determine that the procedure was effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Clear breath sounds. After suctioning a tracheostomy, clear breath sounds indicate that the airway is patent and free of secretions, demonstrating effective removal of mucus. Brisk capillary refill (
A) assesses peripheral circulation, not airway clearance. Increased respiratory rate (
C) may indicate respiratory distress, not necessarily effectiveness of suctioning. Stable oxygen saturation (
D) is important but does not directly confirm airway clearance.
