A child who has a tracheostomy
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has a tracheostomy. After suctioning the tracheostomy, which of the following findings should the nurse use to determine that the procedure was effective?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Clear breath sounds. After suctioning the tracheostomy, the nurse should assess for clear breath sounds to determine if the procedure was effective. Clear breath sounds indicate that the airway is patent and free from secretions. This is important for adequate oxygenation and ventilation. Decreased respiratory rate (
A) may not necessarily indicate effective suctioning, as it could be due to other factors. Stable oxygen saturation (
B) is important but may not solely indicate successful suctioning. Pink capillary refill (
D) is unrelated to the effectiveness of tracheostomy suctioning.
