Answer to Question 3

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5

Rationale 1: For an oral endotracheal tube, use an oropharyngeal airway to prevent the client from biting down on the oral endotracheal tube.

Rationale 2: For an oral endotracheal tube, provide nasal care every 2 to 4 hours.

Rationale 3: For an oral endotracheal tube, provide oral hygiene every 2 to 4 hours.

Rationale 4: Provide humidified air or oxygen because the endotracheal tube bypasses the upper airways, which normally moisten the air.

Rationale 5: For an oral endotracheal tube, move the tube to the opposite side of the mouth every 8 hours or per agency protocol, taking care to maintain the position of the tube in the trachea. This prevents irritation to the oral mucosa.
