Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

When weaning the client from mechanical ventilation, it is important to document the length of time the client tolerated being off the ventilator, and how the client tolerated the process. The remaining data would be documented on any client requiring mechanical ventilation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Because of the risk of tube dislocation, as soon as the tube is repositioned, the nurse should assess proper placement. Only after assuring the tube is properly placed would the nurse perform the other actions as indicated.
