Process of diffusion and where it occurs in the lungs - Answer-From the alveoli the oxygen from the air enters your blood in nearby vessels. Occurs between alveoli and network of blood vessels
Indication for suctioning and techniques - Answer-If the airway is not clear, respiratory distress, suspicion of a blocked tube

Oxygen flow rate for nonrebreather - Answer-10-15 liters per minute
Oxygen flow rate for Bag Valve Mask (BVM)? - Answer-15 lpm
S/S of respiratory distress - Answer-Agitation, anxiety, restlessness, stridor or wheezing, nasal flaring
S/S of respiratory failure - Answer-Inadequate chest rise, inadequate respiratory rate
ventilating patients with stomas and tracheostomy tubes - Answer-1) ventilate tube itself
with bag-mask device
2) if patient has stoma, but not tube, use child mask with bag-mask device to make seal
