Question 1 of 5

Which of the following techniques can help to prevent skin irritation or breakdown around a tracheostomy site?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Excess secretions from the tracheostomy tube can collect near the stomal opening and cause skin breakdown. Management of secretions through regular suctioning will keep the area clean and dry, minimizing skin irritation.
Choice B, cleansing the site daily with povidone-iodine and water, is incorrect as it may lead to skin irritation due to the harshness of povidone-iodine.
Choice C, avoiding tube ties to secure the tube, is also incorrect as securing the tube is essential for stability.
Choice D, 'None of the above,' is incorrect as managing secretions through suctioning is crucial in preventing skin irritation.
