Question
- Which of the following interventions is not appropriate for a client diagnosed with apneumothorax?(a) Apply wet to dry dressing on wound(b) Monitor respiratory and circulatory function(c) Assess for tracheal deviation(d) Provide analgesics
Solution
The intervention that is not appropriate for a client diagnosed with a pneumothorax is (a) Apply wet to dry dressing on wound.
Pneumothorax is a condition where air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall, causing the lung to collapse. It is typically caused by a chest injury, lung disease, or ruptured air blisters.
The appropriate interventions for a pneumothorax would be to monitor respiratory and circulatory function (b), assess for tracheal deviation (c), and provide analgesics (d) to manage pain.
Applying a wet to dry dressing on the wound (a) is not typically an intervention for pneumothorax. This method is usually used for wound care to help remove dead tissue from wounds. In the case of pneumothorax, the focus is on stabilizing the patient's breathing and managing pain, not wound care.
