Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale: When the chest tube is removed, the client is asked to perform the Valsalva maneuver (take a deep breath, exhale, and bear down). The tube is then quickly withdrawn, and an airtight dressing is taped in place. The pleura seals itself off, and the wound heals in less than 1 week.

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale: Normal respiratory rate varies from 30 to 60 breaths/min when the infant is not crying. Respirations should be counted for 1 full minute to ensure an accurate measurement because the newborn is a periodic breather. Observing and palpating respirations while the infant is quiet promote accurate data collection.
