NURS1213 Exam | 2025/2026 Update | Questions
and Answers | Verified 100% Correct
Oxygen M: Stasis
a period or state of inactivity or equilibrium.
The most effective position for patients with cardiopulmonary disease
Semi Fowlers position
Cyanosis, the blue discolouration of the skin caused by the presence of desaturated
hemoglobin in capillaries is
a late sign of hypoxia
Patients with anemia may complain of
fatigue
Fever increases the tissues need for oxygen and as result
CO2 increases
Right sided heart failure results from
Impaired right sided ventricle
6 rights to check for O2 delivery
1. Right patient
2. Right medication
3. Right dose
4. Right route
,5. Right documentation
6. Right time
5 safety measures for O2 administration
Check smoking signs are posted
No smoking while on oxygen
Electrical equipment is grounded and functional to avoid sparks
know the location of fire extinguisher
know fire procedure and evacuation route
Enough oxygen for transportation of patient
Hypoxemia
decreased amount of oxygen in the blood due to a low partial pressure oxygen secondary to
hypoventilation. Normal PO2 is 80-100 mmHg. Medical conditions that can cause acute
hypoxemia are asthma, heart failure, pneumonia, pleural effusions, pneumothorax, pulmonary
edema, COPD exacerbation
Hypoxia
Inadequate supply of oxygen to the tissue or cells, due to problems with the lungs, the blood or
the circulatory system. Cellular hypoxia occurs when oxygen transport fails to meet the tissue
demand for oxygen. Hypoxemia is usually the cause of hypoxia
Signs of Hypoxia:
Early:Tachycardia, hypertension, disorientation, confusion
Late: cyanosis
,Severe: Slow irregular respirations, cardiac arrhythmias, hypotension, lethargy
Symptoms: dyspnea, restlessness, palpitations, headache, impaired judgement
Hypercapnia
Elevated carbon dioxide level in the blood. If PCO2 levels climbs really high patients may
become lethargic and difficult to rouse. Do not deprive the hypoxic COPD patient of oxygen. For
patients experiencing CO2 narcosis, PO2 of 60-100 mmHg will achieve optimal arterial oxygen
Normal values for O2 delivery devices
Nasal prongs: 1-6LPM
High flow nasal prongs: 6-15 LPM
Simple Mask: 5-8 LPM, MUST BE greater than 5LPM or rebreathing of CO2 occurs
Venturi Mask: Flow rate 4-12 LPM, barrel adjusted to %
Rebreather mask: % to maintain bag inflated
Non-rebreather mask: 15 LPM or greater
Face tent: 5-10 LPM
Normal pH
7.35-7.45
<7.35 Acidosis
>7.45 Alkalosis
Sexual Health M: Health promotion presentation
Affirm: Their question is ok to ask
Clarify: what do you think that means?
, Answer: provide appropriate resources, see their feelings about the info provided. Be aware of
own values
What is the most effective contraceptive for females
Birth control pill
Gender identity is
individuals sense of being male/female, or some combination
Sexual identity:
objective labelling of a person as male or female. -Variations in genitalia, gonads, chromosomes
or hormone levels, ex: ambiguous genitalia, androgen disorders
Gender identity
degree to which a person identifies themselves as male/female, or some combination. Gender
disorder is caused by hormonal fluctuations at a crucial time in fetal development. Begins in
early childhood as a child becomes aware of differences of the sexes and starts to perceive
themselves as male or female.
Sexual orientation
describes the predominant gender preference of a person's sexual attraction over time
Secondary Intention
Wound edges are not closed, caused by pressure ulcers. Greater chance of infection, if scarring is
severe can lead to loss of function in area
Homophobia
