Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing to suction a tracheotomy on an infant. The nurse prepares the equipment for the procedure and should turn the suction to which setting?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The suctioning procedure for pediatric clients varies from that used for adults. Suctioning in infants and children requires the use of a smaller suction catheter and lower suction settings as compared with those used for adults. Suction settings for a neonate are usually 60 to 80 mm Hg; for an infant, 80 to 100 mm Hg; and, for larger children, 100 to 120 mm Hg. The primary health care provider prescription and agency procedures are always followed.
