,d. bronchoscopy
b. oropharyngeal airway - Correct answer-A 45 year-old patient is recovering in the

b. excess water in the tubing - Correct answer-An air-entrainment jet nebulizer is
set at 50%. The respiratory therapist analyzes the oxygen coming from the end of
the tubing and finds it is 60%. Which of the following most likely explains this
finding?
a. poorly calibrate analyzer
b. excess water in the tubing
c. low flow through the jet orifice
d. leak in the tubing
a. examine the ventilator circuit for proper connections - Correct answer-During a
