Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Suctioning the tracheostomy is the priority action to clear secretions, which is likely the cause of the noisy, bubbly respirations. This can help the client breathe more easily.
B. Changing the tracheostomy tube is only necessary if the tube is obstructed or malfunctioning, and suctioning is generally the first step.
C. Notifying the healthcare provider may be needed if suctioning is ineffective or if complications persist, but immediate intervention is required.
D. Changing the tracheostomy dressing does not address the respiratory noise or potential secretion buildup.
E. A head-to-toe assessment may be needed, but the immediate concern is clearing the airway obstruction.

A. Have client use the incentive spirometer every hour B. Help client dangle legs off the side of the bed C. Encourage the client to ambulate as soon as possible D. Keep the client in bed with knees elevated E. Limit the amount of fluid the client drinks

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Using the incentive spirometer is primarily aimed at preventing respiratory complications, not directly related to DVT prevention.
B. Dangling the legs off the bed promotes blood flow and prepares the client for ambulation, which helps prevent venous stasis and reduces the risk of DVT.
C. Encouraging ambulation is crucial for DVT prevention, but this task typically requires nursing judgment and assessment.
D. Keeping the knees elevated for prolonged periods may increase the risk of venous stasis, potentially contributing to DVT formation.
E. Limiting fluids without a clinical indication can lead to dehydration, which may increase the risk of blood clots.
