Answer to Question 1
B
A stoma site that is clean and free of infection and transesophageal fistula and an inner cannula that is free of secretions indicate that tracheostomy care is successful. If the stoma site is reddened or hard, with or without drainage, evaluate the cleaning regimen for continued use of clean technique, and increase tracheostomy care frequency.

Bloody secretions are an unexpected outcome and require evaluation of suctioning technique and frequency and size of the catheter.
