A. Allow the client to suck on small quantities of ice chips. B. Apply oxygen and continuous pulse oximetry. C. Have the respiratory therapist provide humidified room air. D. Request an antitussive medication from the physician.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Sucking on small quantities of ice chips is not appropriate in this case as it may worsen the airway obstruction or cause further irritation.

B. Applying oxygen and continuously monitoring the client's pulse oximetry will help ensure that the client's oxygen saturation remains adequate and that they do not experience respiratory distress or hypoxemia due to inhalation injury. Early intervention is crucial to prevent worsening of respiratory status.

C. Humidified room air can help in cases of airway irritation, but the priority is to ensure oxygenation and avoid hypoxia.

D. Antitussive medications may be indicated later, but airway management and oxygenation take precedence.
