The client had a right-sided chest tube inserted 2 hours ago for a pneumothorax. Which action
should the nurse implement if there is no fluctuation in the water-seal compartment?
A) Obtain an order for a STAT chest x-ray.
B) Increase the amount of wall suction.
C) Check the tubing for kinks or clots.
D) Monitor the client's pulse oximeter reading. - CORRECT ANSWERS Answer = C
Rationale:
-The air from the pleural space is not getting to the water seal compartment. Checking the tubing is
appropriate in finding out why this is, and usually it's because the client is lying on the tubing, it is
kinked, or there is a dependent loop. (Note: the key here is '2 hours ago')
-increasing the amount of wall suction will not address WHY there is no fluctuation in the water-seal
compartment. Need to find out what is causing this before taking action.
