Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a postoperative client who has a chest tube connected to suction and a water seal drainage system. Which of the following indicates to the nurse that the chest tube is functioning properly?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Fluctuation of the fluid level within the water seal chamber (tidaling) indicates proper chest tube function, reflecting changes in intrapleural pressure during respiration.
