1. Correct tube placement
2. Proper cuff inflation
3. Monitor oxygenation/ventilation
4. Tube patency
5. Oral care/ skin integrity
6. Comfort/communication
Nurse management for mechanical ventilation shared responsibility
with?
- correct answer - Respiratory therapy
,Patients on mechanical ventilation are at risk for several complications,
including:
- correct answer –
Ventilator associated pneumonia
Barotrauma
Oxygen toxicity
After the patient get any of those above procedure. What the nurse
should do
- correct answer - Put patient in gastric suction to keep stomach
empty (due to aspiration)
TPN is intravenous nutrition used when the GI tract cannot be used for
feeding. It provides essential nutrients, including carbohydrates,

A nurse is assessing a patient for readiness to be weaned from
mechanical ventilation. What findings would indicate that the patient is a
suitable candidate for weaning?
- correct answer –
, 1. Assess patient for weaning criteria:
a. Vital capacity: 10 to 15 mL/kg
b. Maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) at least -20 cm H20
c. Tidal volume: 7 to 9 mL/kg
d. Minute ventilation: 6 L/min
e. Rapid/shallow breathing index: Below 100 breaths/min/L; PaO2 >60
mm Hg with FiO2 <40%
How to prevent ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP)
- correct answer –
Caused by bacterial colonization of the respiratory tract and aspiration of
secretions.
Prevention:
• Elevate head of bed (30-45 degrees).
• Strict regular oral care with chlorhexidine. (q2 hrs )
•. Daily "sedation vacation" - assess readiness for extubation
•Peptic ulcer prophylaxis (H2 blockers, PPI drugs)
•DVT prophylaxis (SQ heparin, SCD's)
