,An elderly patient who lives in an adult assisted-living
facility mentions that he is experiencing hearing and vision
changes. During your assessment, you would associate
this type of sensory deprivation with...
A. Stable affect
B. Altered perception
C. Improved task completion
D. Increased need for social interaction
Answer: B
,When evaluating a post-thoracotomy patient with a chest
tube, the best method to properly maintain the chest tube
would be to:
A. strip the chest tube every hour to maintain drainage
B. place the device below the patient's chest
C. double clamp the tube except during assessment
D. remove the tubing from the drainage device to check
for proper suctioning
Answer : B
"Handle the chest drainage unit carefully and maintain the
drainage device below the patient's chest," (pg. 899).
, Chest tubes are not routinely stripped or milked to move
clots or increase chest drainage. Clamping can result in a
tension pneumothorax and a chest tube is only clamped
when replacing the chest drainage system, assessing for
an air leak, or during removal. You do not want to remove
the tubing because it requires patient preparation due to
the burning, pulling, and painful sensation.
