Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nurse should swipe the area around the trach stoma with sterile cotton-tipped swabs dipped in hydrogen peroxide to remove any accumulated and encrusted secretions. The application of hydrogen peroxide does not aid in relieving bronchospasm or reducing inflammation. Aerosol mist treatment, not hydrogen peroxide, is used to hydrate thick sputum.

Answer to Question 2

B
