Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
Coughing, a bubbling sound during respiration, and noisy breathing are indicators of the need for tracheostomy suctioning. Crust on the tube and a moist dressing can be remedies when the tube is cleaned and are not indicators of obstruction.

Correct For the hospitalized adolescent, adaptation is facilitated then other adolescents are present on the same unit.
For the hospitalized adolescent, adaptation is facilitated then the adolescent is offered the opportunity to participate in the governance of their space.

Mixing the unit with younger children is also not an indication for adaptation for the hospitalized adolescent.
