Oxygen therapy

Oxygen therapy ( 22 Questions)

(Select all that apply) A nurse is preparing to administer oxygen therapy to a client who has COPD and requires a precise concentration of oxygen. Which of the following devices should the nurse use for this client?


Correct Answer: ["A","D","E"]

Choice A rationale:

The nurse should use a Venturi mask for a client with COPD requiring a precise concentration of oxygen. The Venturi mask delivers a specific oxygen concentration by mixing oxygen with room air through a venturi effect, ensuring accurate and consistent oxygen delivery.

Choice B rationale:

The non-rebreather mask is not the best choice for a client requiring a precise oxygen concentration. It is used for short-term, high-flow oxygen therapy and is not adjustable, making it unsuitable for precise oxygen delivery.

Choice C rationale:

The aerosol mask is used for delivering humidified oxygen and is not designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations like the Venturi mask.

Choice D rationale:

The simple face mask is also not the best choice for a precise oxygen concentration. It delivers higher concentrations of oxygen but lacks the ability to fine-tune the delivered oxygen percentage like the Venturi mask.

Choice E rationale:

The tracheostomy collar is used for clients with a tracheostomy and does not provide precise oxygen concentrations like the Venturi mask.
