Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: A - Secure new tracheostomy ties before removing old ones.
Rationale: By securing new tracheostomy ties before removing old ones, the nurse ensures that the tracheostomy tube remains in place and prevents accidental dislodgment. This step is crucial to maintain the client's airway patency and prevent complications.
Summary of other choices:
B: Using aseptic technique is important in tracheostomy care, but it is not directly related to securing tracheostomy ties.
C: Applying suction when inserting the catheter is incorrect as it increases the risk of trauma and should not be done during routine tracheostomy care.
D: Cleaning the inner cannula with mild soap and water is a part of tracheostomy care, but it is not directly related to securing tracheostomy ties.
