NR224 Funds Final Exam Review
What methods would be used to verify oxygenation status?
Oximetry, arterial blood gas lab, spirometry, and Chest X-Ray
When administering a nasal cannula > 4 L/minute has a drying effect on
nasal mucosa. What should the nurse implement?
Attach nasal cannula to a humidified oxygen source up to a maximum of
6 /min
We have an expert-written solution to this problem!
Which oxygen mask is used for short-term oxygen therapy administering
a flow rate of 6-12 L/min and gives 35-50% of oxygen?
Simple face mask
Which oxygen mask can separately control the flow of oxygen by using a
venturi valve located at the bottom of the mask and can be delivered
between 24% and 50% oxygen with the flow rate set to 15 L/min?
Venturi mask
Which oxygen mask will deliver 60-80% oxygen with each inhalation,
and the flow rate can be set down to 10 L per minute and is used to
capture and maintain a higher oxygen concentration and the one-way
valve between the bag and the mask?
Partial-non rebreather
Which oxygen mask will deliver an oxygen concentration close to 100%
with the regulator set at 15 liters/min and has three one-way valves (two
out to the air and one to the bag filled with oxygen)?
Full non rebreather
,Which mask is a mask with a bag on the end which, if squeezed, forces
air through the mask to the lungs. This is used for short transport or
when a ventilator is not available?
Bag-valve-mask
What automatically delivers breaths and oxygen to someone who cannot
do either. It is also used in surgery to breathe for a client while under
anesthesia.
Ventilator
If the hissing is heard when the oxygen tank is not in use, what should
you do?
Shut the tank off by turning the shut-off valve (usually at the top)
clockwise or to the right until you cannot turn it anymore.
What are the early and late signs of hypoxia?
restlessness (earliest sign), decreased LOC, dizziness (early signs)
cyanosis (late signs)
What is hyper ventilation?
rapid deep breathing; rhythm may be regular or irregular. It is also an
increase in CO2 leaving the body via the lungs
What is hypoventilation?
slow, deep breathing with a regular rhythm. It is also an increased
retention of CO2 in the body.
What is hypoxemia?
low levels of O2 in the blood. It is what Guillain-Barre syndrome is.
, What is hypoxia?
low levels of oxygen in the tissues of the body. COPD clients normally
have this.
What is the proper method for oxygen delivery for COPD patients?
1-3 L administered via nasal canulaCOPD patients require to be a little
hypoxic
What is "breathing for the client"?
Ventilation Devices
What device is "make breathing easier"?
Respiration Devices
What device delivers dry or aerosol medication?
inhaled meds
Which device delivers medication attached to a water vaper?
Nebulizer
What does a concentrator device do ?
deliver produced oxygen
What is a manual method to mobilize pulmonary secretions?
Chest physiotherapy
Step by step of suctioning
- Dons sterile gloves.
- Coils the suction catheter into the dominant hand.
