blood. What should the nurse use to regulate the amount of oxygen delivered to the client?
nasal cannula
nasal strip
oxygen analyzer
flow meter -
Answer✅
flow meter
Explanation:
The nurse should use a flow meter to regulate the amount of oxygen delivered to the client.
A flow meter is a gauge used to regulate the amount of oxygen delivered to the client and 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. An adhesive nasal strip increases the nasal diameter and promotes easier
breathing. A nasal cannula is a hollow tube used for delivering a small concentration of
1
, oxygen. However, these devices are not used to regulate the amount of oxygen delivered to
the client.
