Answer to Question 1
B
Covered hemostats are used to assess for air leaks, not a cup of water, suction equipment, or pe-troleum gauze. Hemostats have a covering to prevent hemostat from penetrating the chest tube. The use of these hemostats or other clamp prevents air from re-entering the pleural space. Suc-tioning does not determine an air leak; it is used to clear secretions. If there is a break in the chest drainage device, place the end of the chest tube in a bottle of sterile saline, not water. If a chest tube becomes dislodged apply pressure to chest tube site wound using petroleum gauze, a dry gauze dressing, and adhesive tape.
