Answer to Question 2

D
Correct care of a chest tube involves knowing normal and abnormal functioning of the tube. Bubbling in the water-seal chamber is expected. Stripping the drain requires a physician order. If the chest tube becomes dislodged, immediately apply occlusive pressure over the insertion site. The chest tube should not be clamped unless necessary; if so, the length of time clamped would be minimal to reduce the risk of pneumothorax.
