Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The person with a tracheostomy can go outside, but it is important to cover the stoma with a scarf or blouse to prevent dust, pollutants, or other foreign objects from entering the trachea. Option A is incorrect as people with tracheostomies can go outside if the necessary precautions are taken. Option B is not specific enough as the person may be able to go outside alone with appropriate training and support. Option D is not necessary as an Ambu bag is only needed in emergency situations to provide artificial respiration.
