bronchus. In what position should the patient be placed?Group of
answer choices
Keep the patient's head in a neutral position and rotate the
catheter counter-clockwise on insertion.
Keep the patient's head in a neutral position and rotate the
catheter clockwise on insertion.

Turn the patient's head to the right.
The nurse is orienting a new graduate nurse to common
procedures performed on the unit. Which statement, if made by
the graduate nurse, indicates understanding of nasotracheal
suctioning?Group of answer choices
"The maximum duration to suction is 20 seconds."
"The bacterial count in the nasotracheal pathway is higher,
therefore suction the trachea through the mouth."
"A 1- to 2- minute interval should be allowed between suctioning
passes."
"Intermittent suction is applied during insertion of the catheter." -
CORRECT ANSWER "A 1- to 2- minute interval should be
allowed between suctioning passes."
,A discussion is taking place on the unit regarding the application
of lubricant to the suction catheter before passing it through the
nasal passage. Which statement is accurate?Group of answer
choices
"Water-soluble lubricant should be used because oil based
lubricants increase the risk for aspiration and pneumonia."
"If the patient's fluid status is sufficient, lubricating the catheter is
unnecessary."
"Petroleum jelly can be used to lubricate the catheter as long as
the patient is not on oxygen via nasal cannula."
"Applying water-soluble lubricant to the suction catheter ensures
that it is working properly prior to oropharyngeal or nasotracheal
suctioning." - CORRECT ANSWER "Water-soluble lubricant
should be used because oil based lubricants increase the risk for
aspiration and pneumonia."
The nurse performs nasotracheal suctioning. Which of the
following is an incorrect sequence for this procedure?Group of
answer choices
Apply sterile gloves, pick up the suction catheter with dominant
hand, secure the catheter to the tubing, connect the tubing to the
suction machine, and turn the suction on.
Wearing sterile gloves, suction a small amount of sterile normal
saline from the basin and lightly coat 6 to 8 cm of the catheter
with water-soluble lubricant.
Using dominant hand, gently but quickly insert the catheter into
the patient's nares and intermittently suction and rotate the
catheter while withdrawing the catheter.
Rinse the catheter and connecting tubing with normal saline and
allow the patient to rest 1 to 2 minutes between catheter passes.
Encourage the patient to cough, and when suctioning is complete,
appropriately discard used equipment and perform oral care. -
CORRECT ANSWER Apply sterile gloves, pick up the suction
, catheter with dominant hand, secure the catheter to the tubing,
connect the tubing to the suction machine, and turn the suction
on.
Which of the following is a potential complication for a patient who
is having nasotracheal suctioning? (Select all that apply.)Group of
answer choicesa.
A significant drop in oxygen concentration.
b.A decrease in heart rate.
c.Dysrythmias.
d.Coughing during and after suctioning
e.Less secretions in the airway. - CORRECT ANSWER abc
A 73-year-old patient was admitted with severe respiratory
distress secondary to pneumonia. She has a long history of
smoking, which she recently stopped. On arrival she was placed
on continuous pulse oximetry, and an endotracheal tube was
inserted for mechanical ventilation. She is heavily sedated. This
patient is at risk for airway occlusion.Group of answer
