Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a patient who is receiving mechanical ventilation. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia? Which action prevents ventilator-associated pneumonia?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Keep the head of the bed elevated to 30-45 degrees. Elevating the head of the bed helps prevent aspiration, which is a significant risk factor for ventilator-associated pneumonia. This position promotes proper lung expansion and drainage of secretions, reducing the likelihood of bacterial growth in the lungs. Performing oral care every 12 hours (
A) is important for oral hygiene but does not directly prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia. Administering antibiotics prophylactically (
C) can lead to antibiotic resistance and is not recommended routinely. Changing the ventilator circuit daily (
D) is important for infection control but does not directly prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia.
