*Rationale:*
If the chest drainage system is disconnected, the end of the tube is placed in a
bottle of sterile water held below the level of the chest. The HCP may need to
be notified, but this is not the initial action. The system is replaced if it breaks
or cracks or if the collection chamber is full. Placing a sterile dressing over the
disconnection site will not prevent complications resulting from the
disconnection.
Quiz: The nurse is assessing the functioning of a chest tube drainage
system in a client who has just returned from the recovery room following a
thoracotomy with wedge resection. Which are the expected assessment
findings? Select all that apply.
1. Excessive bubbling in the water seal chamber
2. Vigorous bubbling in the suction control chamber
