An adult arrived at the emergency department at 15:30 with
shortness of breath.
The client has responded well to the treatment and is preparing

Background: history of asthma
Assessment: lungs with scattered sonorous wheezes,
symmetrical chest expansion with no temperature, slightly
elevated blood pressure, respiratory rate of 28, and an oxygen
saturation of 88% on room air.
Which order should the nurse anticipate receiving? Correct
Answers Chest x-ray

PROVIDER ORDERS: Oxygen 4 L/min per nasal cannula -----
Douglas Eubanks, MD
- No provider order is required to start supplemental oxygen.
, - This will deliver about 37% oxygen.
- If the flow is higher, humidification is recommended for
comfort.
- A flow meter is not needed to deliver oxygen this way.
- It is safe to smoke when using oxygen by this delivery method.
Correct Answers - This will deliver about 37% oxygen.

An adult client who uses oxygen, 2 L/min via nasal cannula at
home, is admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. They have a
history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and a
productive cough with a moderate amount of yellowish sputum.
The first dose of antibiotics was administered 2 hours ago.
After 45 minutes on 100% oxygen via a non-rebreather mask,
the client's respirations are 36 per minute and oxygen saturation
is 86%. Which action should the nurse anticipate taking next?
Correct Answers Using a bag-valve-mask to assist with
ventilation
