A patient asks the nurse why they need to wear oxygen in the
hospital and how it works with blood cells. Which is the best
response?

the oxygen

-The blood receives oxygen from the bone marrow and carries it
to the tissues - answerBlood cells passing through the arteries in
the lungs are oxygenated and then carry oxygen to the body

diffusion is impaired by the congestion
