NURS 3111 Exam Ch 39 Questions With Complete
Solutions
d) "Small water droplets come from this, thus preventing dry
mucous membranes"
Pg. 1503
The humidifier produces small water droplets which are
delivered during oxygen administration to prevent or decrease
dry mucous membranes. The oxygen analyzer measures the
percentage of delivered oxygen to determine whether the client
is receiving the prescribed amount. The flowmeter is a gauge
used to regulate the amount of oxygen that a client receives. The
healthcare provider prescribed the concentration of oxygen.
22. The nurse is demonstrating oxygen administration to a
client. Which teaching will the nurse include about the
humidifier?
a) "It measures the percentage of delivered oxygen to determine
whether the client is getting the amount prescribed"
b) "This is a gauge used to regulate the amount of oxygen that a
client receives"
c) "The humidifier prescribes the concentration of oxygen"
d) "Small water droplets come from this, thus preventing dry
mucous membranes"
,a) Tracheostomy collar
Pg. 1517
A tracheostomy collar delivers oxygen near an artificial opening
in the neck. This is appropriate for a client who has had a PCT.
Other devices are not appropriate for this client.
23. The nurse is caring for a client who has a percutaneous
tracheostomy (PCT) following a skydiving accident. Which
oxygen delivery device will the nurse select?
a) Tracheostomy collar
b) Face tent
c) Simple mask
d) Nasal cannula
c) Nasal cannula
Pg. 1532-1534
A nasal cannula is used to deliver from 1 L/min to 6 L/min of
oxygen. Masks are used with higher flow rates of oxygen.
27. A client with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) has been ordered oxygen at 3 L/min as needed
for treatment of dyspnea. What delivery mode is most
appropriate to this client's needs?
a) Partial rebreather mask
, b) Nonrebreather mask
c) Nasal cannula
d) Simple mask
a) Flow meter
Pg. 1496
In order to regulate the amount of oxygen delivered to the client,
the nurse should use a flow meter. A flow meter is attached to
the source of oxygen. An oxygen analyzer is a device that
measures the percentage of delivered oxygen to determine if the
client is receiving the amount prescribed by the physician. A
humidifier is a device that produces small water droplets and
may be used during oxygen administration because oxygen dries
the mucous membranes. A nasal cannula is a hollow tube with
half-inch prongs placed into the client's nostrils. It provides a
means for administering a low concentration of oxygen.
24. During oxygen administration to the client, which pieces of
equipment would enable the nurse to regulate the amount of
oxygen delivered?
a) Flow meter
b) Oxygen analyzer
c) Nasal cannula
d) Humidifier
c) Croup
