OXYGENATION (unitek) CORRECT
100%
nasal canula flow rate - ANSWER1-6 L/min provide humidificador for patients who
need 4 or more LPM
Complications of oxygen therapy - ANSWEROxygen toxicity
oxygen mask flow rates - ANSWER5-8 liters per min
Non-rebreather mask - ANSWER10-15 LPM keep reservoir bag 2/3 full asses valve
and flap hourly
Venturi mask flow rate - ANSWER4-10 L/min provides the most precise oxygen
delivery
aerosol mask / face tent - ANSWERGood for patients w burns and trauma and
provides high humidification
Nursing actions for O2 toxicity - ANSWERUse low levels of O2 necessary to
maintain oxygenation
Monitor ABGs
Decrease FIO2 as the patient improves
ABGs - ANSWERarterial blood gases (carbon dioxide and oxygen)
FiO2 (fraction of inspired oxygen) - ANSWERThe concentration of oxygen in the air
we breathe
Oxygen is - ANSWERcolorless, odorless, tasteless and combustible
Considerations for oxygen therapy - ANSWERMonitor RR, LOC,O2 saturation and
AVGs
If co2 is leaking- - ANSWERPatients will not receive benefits of oxygen therapy
What should the nurse assess after starting oxygen therapy - ANSWERNutritional
status, skin integrity for breakage where mask is placed over, provide moisture and
pressure relieving devices as needed
When to discontinue oxygen - ANSWERAs soon as Patient is able to tolerate a
healthy O2 level without oxygen
Discontinue gradually by liters
Partial rebreather mask - ANSWER6-11 LPM adjust oxygen flow to keep reservoir
Bag from deflating
