    A nurse is providing discharge teaching to the partner of a client who has a tracheostomy. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

Changing the dressing using clean technique is critical to prevent infection and should be part of the discharge instructions. C. Operating the suction machine is an important skill, but it may not be needed daily unless suctioning is required. D. Non-disposable tracheostomy tubes should not be changed daily unless specified by the provider.
