QMA's may not apply oxygen to a resident in an emergency without a physicians order. -
correct answer-However there is often a PRN order for oxygen when the resident falls short
of breath/oxygen saturation levels are low.
QMA's may initiate a nasal cannula only in an emergency situation. - correct answer-QMA's

answer-Apply ordered oxygen administration device.
Nasal cannula 1/2 inch prongs should be placed? - correct answer-in a downward direction.
, A reading on the oximetry of 90% may indicate? - correct answer-Resident need to be given
oxygen'

rectum and sigmoid colon. Removes feces/flatus.
QMA's may only instill a commercially prepared enema which contains approximately -
correct answer-120ml (4oz.) of fluid.
