A postoperative priority nursing diagnosis for a client having a vertical partial laryngectomy would be:
- A. activity intolerance.
- B. ineffective airway clearance.
- C. high-risk for infection.
- D. an altered oral mucous membrane.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The laryngectomy client should be able to gradually increase activities without difficulty. The laryngectomy client may have copious amounts of secretions, which will require suctioning for the first 24-48 hours. Because the mucous collects in the cannula, it will require cleaning after the first 24 hours. Even though the client does have a potential for infection, this is not more important than the ineffective airway clearance. An altered mucous membrane problem is not more important than ineffective airway clearance. The client's mouth may become dry, but can be taken care of with good oral care.
