hard · NCLEX-RN management
A regional weather emergency has delayed the delivery of specialized tracheostomy Heat-Moisture Exchangers (HMEs) to the unit. The unit has 6 clients with chronic tracheostomies who require an HME to prevent airway drying and mucus plugging. Based on the unit's average consumption rate of 1.5 HMEs per client every 24 hours, the charge nurse must determine how many days the remaining stock of 45 HMEs will last. How many days (days) of inventory are available before the supply is completely exhausted? Record your answer as a whole number. Do not include units in your response.
