Question

a nurse is caring for a client who requires a chest tube. the provider asks for the suction pressure of the closed chest drainage system to be set at -40 cm of water. which of the following closed chest drainage systems should the nurse prepare for this client? mobile chest drain water seal system heimlich valve dry suction control system

Explanation:

Mobile chest drains typically do not have adjustable suction to -40 cm of water. Water - seal systems mainly maintain a water - seal and do not provide precise suction control. Heimlich valves are one - way valves and do not control suction pressure like this. Dry suction control systems can be set to specific negative suction pressures such as -40 cm of water.

Answer:

D. Dry suction control system
