Oxygen therapy ( 22 Questions)

(Select all that apply): A client with a tracheostomy is being weaned from mechanical ventilation. Which of the following oxygen delivery devices can be used for this client?


Correct Answer: ["B","C","D"]

Choice A rationale:

Venturi masks are not typically used with tracheostomy patients, as they are more suitable for patients with intact upper airways.

Choice B rationale:

Tracheostomy collars are specifically designed for patients with tracheostomies. They provide oxygen directly to the tracheostomy tube, making them appropriate for weaning tracheostomized patients from mechanical ventilation.

Choice C rationale:

T-piece adapters are commonly used for patients with tracheostomies to deliver oxygen. They are simple devices that deliver oxygen directly to the tracheostomy tube.

Choice D rationale:

Aerosol masks are not specifically designed for tracheostomy patients and may not provide adequate oxygen delivery for them.

Choice E rationale:

Mechanical ventilators are not an oxygen delivery device; instead, they are used to provide mechanical ventilation support to the patient and can incorporate various oxygen delivery systems.
