Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who has a pneumothorax and a water-seal chest tube drainage system to suction. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Maintaining the drainage container below the client's chest prevents backflow of fluid or air into the pleural space, ensuring effective drainage and preventing complications.
Question 2 of 5
A client is receiving oxygen therapy via a nasal cannula. When the client asks the nurse why he needs to have oxygen tubing in his nose, which of the following explanations about the cannula should the nurse give him?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A nasal cannula delivers low concentrations of oxygen (24-44%), suitable for clients needing supplemental oxygen without requiring high concentrations.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing an acute asthma attack. Which of the following prescriptions should the nurse anticipate?

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative and has developed atelectasis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
