Question 1 of 5
In the context of developing a care plan for a patient on a ventilator to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia, which interventions should be included? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,D
Rationale:
Choice A: Implementing ventilator-weaning protocols minimizes exposure to mechanical ventilation, a significant risk factor for ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Choice B: Frequent oral care reduces respiratory pathogens in the oral cavity, preventing their aspiration.
Choice D: Positioning in a semi-upright position (30 to 45 degrees), not prone, reduces aspiration risk.
Choices C and E are incorrect as suctioning should be based on clinical need, not a fixed schedule, and avoiding suctioning could increase infection risk.
