Oxygen therapy
Oxygen therapy ( 22 Questions)
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.
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.
The aerosol mask is used for delivering humidified oxygen and is not designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations like the Venturi mask.
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.
The tracheostomy collar is used for clients with a tracheostomy and does not provide precise oxygen concentrations like the Venturi mask.
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.
