Feedback:
Because a tracheostomy tube is below the level of the larynx, clients usually cannot speak. A tracheostomy does not necessarily create a risk for fluid volume deficit. Functional deficits are unlikely to be unilateral and the client's possible decisional conflict is not likely to be a direct consequence of the tracheostomy.
