While doing nasopharyngeal suctioning on Mr. Abad, the nurse can avoid trauma to the area by:

  • Using gloves to prevent introduction of pathogens to the respiratory system
  • Apply suction for at least 20-30 seconds each time to ensure that all secretions are removed
  • Applying no suction while inserting the catheter
  • Rotating catheter as it is inserter with gentle suction
