3/ nurse is caring for a client who has a tracheostomy. Identify how often oral care should be completed
for this client and the reason why.
,Nurses provide tracheostomy care for clients with new or recent
tracheostomy to maintain patency of the tube and minimize the risk for
infection (since the inhaled air by the client is no longer filtered by the
upper airways). Initially a tracheostomy may need to be suctioned and
cleaned as often as every 1 to 2 hours. After the initial inflammatory
response subsides, tracheostomy care may only need to be done once
or twice a day, depending on the client.
Oral care should be completed every four hours for a client with a tracheostomy. This
is necessary to prevent the build-up of secretions and to keep the mouth and throat
moist.
