3. The healthcare provider should consider the following when assessing the child for chest indrawing EXCEPT

A. Chest indrawing should be present at all times
B. The lower chest wall does not move in when the child breathes in
C. The lower chest moves in when the child breathes in
D. The child should be calm

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When assessing a child for chest indrawing, it is important to note that chest indrawing should NOT be present at all times, as this would suggest a significant respiratory distress. Chest indrawing is an abnormal inward movement of the lower chest wall during inhalation, indicating increased work of breathing. Therefore, the absence of chest indrawing during normal breathing is a normal finding. The healthcare provider should observe for the lower chest moving in with each breath, which is abnormal, while ensuring that the child is calm during the assessment.

A. Drainage of pleural effusion
B. Hemorrhage

Acute respiratory failure, which can occur due to various reasons such as upper airway obstruction, is a common indication for tracheostomy. While drainage of pleural effusion, hemorrhage, and infections may require medical intervention, they are not direct indications for a tracheostomy like acute respiratory failure.
