Simulated
The nurse is assessing a client who is one day postoperative parathyroidectomy and finds that the client is experiencing stridor. After notifying the healthcare provider (HCP), the nurse should prepare for which procedure?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B because stridor suggests airway obstruction, potentially requiring a tracheostomy. Choice A is unrelated to airway issues. Choice C is for vascular access, not airway. Choice D is for cardiac issues, not relevant.
