Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a tracheostomy who requires suctioning. Which of the following actions by the nurse would indicate correct technique?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Withdrawing the catheter 1-2 cm before suctioning prevents mucosal trauma. A 16 Fr catheter may be too large, 160 mm Hg is excessive (80-120 mm Hg is typical), and suctioning for 25 seconds is too long (≤10-15 seconds).
