A patient is receiving O2 from an E cylinder at 4 L/min through a nasal cannula.
The cylinder pressure is 1900 psig. How long will the cylinder run until it is empty?
A. 47 min
B. 1.7 h
C. 2.2 h
D. 3.6 h - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️E cylinder = 0.28
1900x0.28/4 = 133/60 = 2.21
Answer: C. 2 hours, 21 minutes
After the Respiratory Therapist sets up a nonrebreathing mask on a patient at a
flow rate of 10 L/min, the reservoir bag collapses before the patient finishes
inspiring. The RT should do which of the following?
A. Change to a simple mask at a flow rate of 10 L/min
B. Remove the one-way valve from the exhalation port.

C. Place the patient on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)
D. Increase the flow rate to 15 L/min - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️D. Increase the
flow rate to 15 L/min
A patient with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning can best be treated with which of
the following therapies?
A. Nasal Cannula at 6 L/min
B. Simple O2 mask at 10 L/min
C. CPAP and 60% O2
D. Nonrebreathing mask - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️D. Nonrebreathing mask
The following blood gas levels have been obtained from a patient using a 60%
aerosol mask.
pH: 7.47
PaCO2: 31 mmHg
PaO2: 58 mmHg
What should the RT recommend at this time?
A. Place the patient on CPAP
B. Increase the O2 to 70%
C. Intubate and place the patient on mechanical ventilation
D. Change to a nonrebreathing mask - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️A. Place the
patient on CPAP

Given the following data, what is the patient's total arterial O2 content?
pH: 7.41
PaCO2: 37 mmHg
PaO2: 88 mmHg
HCO3: 26 mEq/L
SaO2: 95%
Hb: 14 g/dL
A. 12 mL/dL
B. 14 mL/dL
C. 16 mL/dL
D. 18 mL/dL - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️(Hb x 1.36 x SaO2) + (0.003 x PaO2)
(14 x 1.36 x 0.95) + (0.003 x 88)
18.088 + 0.264
= 18.352
Answer: D. 18 mL/dL
The respiratory therapist receives an order to set up a moderate level of O2 on a
patient who arrives in the ED breathing at a rate of 35 breaths/min. Which of the
following O2 delivery devices is most appropriate to use in this situation?
A. Simple O2 mask at 10 L/min
