Question 1 of 5

In which order should the nurse address the assessment findings for the client who has undergone a total laryngectomy? Place the findings in the order of priority.

Correct Answer: B, A, D, C

Rationale: . Restless and has a mucus plug in the tracheostomy is priority requiring immediate attention due to the negative impact on air exchange. The client needs immediate suctioning. A. Copious oral secretions and nasal mucus draining from the nose should be next. After a total laryngectomy the mouth does not communicate with the trachea, so copious oral secretions and nasal drainage would not influence air exchange, but these create a source of discomfort for the client. D. Oozing serosanguineous drainage around the tracheostomy tube and saturated dressing should be addressed third. Changing the dressing now would allow the nurse to inspect the site and ensure tube patency. C. NG tube used for intermittent feedings pulled halfway out can be addressed last. There is no indication that a tube feeding is infusing. The HCP should be contacted to reinsert the NG tube to prevent disruption of the suture line in the esophagus.
