While the nurse is transporting a client to a new unit, the
client's chest tube drainage system falls off the bed and
the tube becomes dislodged from the chest wall. What is
the nurse's priority action?
1) Activate the hospital emergency response system
2) Apply supplemental oxygen and quickly transport to the
new unit
3) Check the client's respiratory pattern and effort and
oxygen saturation
4) Firmly cover the insertion site with the palm of a clean.
gloved hand. - Answer-Chest tubes are inserted into the
pleural cavity to facilitate drainage of air (pneumothorax),
blood (hemothorax), or other fluids. Chest tubes are
sutured in place, but dislodgement can occur. If this
happens, a sterile occlusive dressing (eg, petrolatum
gauze) must immediately be placed over the insertion site
until the health care provider can assess the client and
insert a new chest tube. If such dressings are not

immediately available, the nurse should cover the insertion
site with something clean and occlusive (eg, gloved hand)
to prevent air from entering the pleural cavity (Option 4).
(Option 1) The nurse should cover the site and assess the
client prior to activating the emergency response system.
(Option 2) It may be necessary to provide supplemental
oxygen if a chest tube is accidentally dislodged. This
intervention would be done after the site is occluded.
(Option 3) After the chest tube insertion site is covered,
the client should be reassessed. The nurse should not
delay covering the chest tube site as pneumothorax or
tension pneumothorax may occur quickly.
Educational objective:Chest tubes are inserted into the
pleural cavity to drain air (pneumothorax), blood
(hemothorax), or other fluids. If the tube is accidentally
dislodged, a sterile occlusive dressing is placed over the
site. If such dressings are not immediately available, a
clean gloved hand can be placed over the site to prevent
air entry into the pleural space. After dressing the site, the
nurse should reassess the client and notify the health care
provider immediately.
The charge nurse is responsible for making room
assignments for multiple clients. Which pair of client
assignments to a shared room is appropriate?

1) Client with blood loss anemia and client with intractable
diarrhea
2) Client with gastroenteritis and client with chemotherapy-
induced nausea and vomiting
3) Client who had a bowel resection 1 day ago and client
with asthma exacerbation
4) Client who had a total hip arthroplasty and client with
influenza - Answer-When making room assignments, it is
important to remember that a client with an active or
suspected infection should not be paired with a client who
has a fresh surgical wound or is immunocompromised. A
client having an asthma exacerbation does not have an
infection and is not at risk for spreading infection to a client
who had recent bowel resection surgery (Option 3).
(Option 1) A client with uncontained or excessive
excretions, drainage, or secretions (eg, profuse diarrhea,
draining wounds) is more likely to spread infection, if
present, and therefore should be assigned to a private
room.
(Option 2) The client who has chemotherapy-induced
nausea and vomiting is likely immunocompromised
secondary to the chemotherapy and is therefore
vulnerable to infection from a client with gastroenteritis.

(Option 4) A client who has a fresh surgical wound has an
increased risk of infection and should not be paired with a
client with an active influenza infection, which is
transmitted through the droplet route.
Educational objective:When preparing room assignments,
the nurse should not place a client who has a fresh
surgical wound or is immunocompromised in a room with
a client who has an active or suspected infection.
A nurse is performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR) on an adult at a swimming pool. A bystander brings
the automated external defibrillator (AED). The nurse
notes that the victim is wet and wearing a transdermal
medication patch on the upper right chest. Which action is
appropriate?
1. Continue compressions while the AED analyzes the
client's heart rhythm
2.Do not use the AED and continue CPR until paramedics
arrive
3.Place the AED pad on the opposite side of the
transdermal patch
