The nurse hyperoxygenates and hyperventilates the client prior to suctioning which airway?
1. Oral cavity
2. Oropharyngeal
3. Nasopharyngeal
4. Endotracheal
Correct Answer: 4
The nurse would hyperventilate and hyperoxygenate when suctioning the endotracheal airway because the catheter occludes the airway and prevents air inflow during the procedure. When suctioning the oral cavity, oropharynx, or nasopharynx, the nurse would have the client take a deep breath and cough if she were capable of cooperating.
