The nurse is teaching a student nurse the use of mechanical ventilators for clients in ventilatory failure. Which teaching point regarding this procedure is accurate?

A mechanical ventilator is a machine that can be connected to the client via an endotracheal tube (ET).

The respiratory therapist explains to the nurse that the positive pressure ventilator pushes air into the lungs of a client through a circuit that joins the machine and the client. Which mode of operation breathes for the client, forcing a breath at set time intervals?

Controlled-breath ventilation

Which client would most likely require chronic mechanical ventilation?

A client who has a spinal cord injury

The nurse is facilitating the weaning of a client from mechanical ventilation. The nurse uses ventilation that allows inspiratory and expiratory airway pressures to be maintained above atmospheric pressure and helps keep the client's lungs inflated. This method tends to improve lung function, even though breathing is spontaneous. What is the term for this mode of ventilation?

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).

A nurse is caring for an unconscious client who has undergone a tracheostomy. What measure should the nurse take while suctioning this client?

Avoid applying suction when inserting the suction catheter.

A nurse is caring for a client receiving mechanical ventilation through a tracheostomy tube. What measure should the nurse employ with this client?

Perform tracheal suctioning, as needed.

A nurse is caring for a client who underwent a tracheostomy following throat surgery. What is the rationale for swabbing the area around the outside of the tracheostomy tube with hydrogen peroxide?
