Answer to Question 1

1
A tracheostomy tube would be indicated for clients who fail to wean rapidly, are unable to protect the airway for a prolonged period of time because of neurological problems, and have problems with oropharyngeal trauma. A history of diabetes mellitus or hypertension are not indications for the placement of a tracheostomy. Client coughing and bucking the endotracheal tube could be indications that the client can maintain the airway.

Answer to Question 2

2
A cardiac angiogram is a procedure that visualizes the structures of the heart and vessels. This is an invasive procedure; however, it does not need general anesthesia. The client is awake during the procedure. A contrast dye is injected, and the client may feel a warm sensation. The client must maintain bed rest with the leg straight for up to 4 to 6 hours after the catheter is removed.
