Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a tracheostomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Securing the tracheostomy ties to allow one finger to fit snugly underneath ensures proper positioning and prevents the tracheostomy tube from becoming dislodged.
Choice B is incorrect because cleansing with normal saline should be done around the stoma, not the skin.
Choice C is incorrect as soaking the outer cannula in warm, soapy tap water is unnecessary and can introduce infection risk.
Choice D is incorrect as using a cotton tip applicator to clean inside the inner cannula can cause injury or dislodge secretions.
