Fundamentals of Nursing: Chapter 39:
Oxygenation Exam Answered Correctly.
During oxygen administration to the client, which of the following pieces of equipment would enable the
nurse to regulate the amount of oxygen delivered?
a) Nasal cannula
b) Flow meter
c) Oxygen analyzer
d) Humidifier - Answer Correct: Flow meter
Explanation:
In order to regulate the amount of oxygen delivered to the client, the nurse should use a flow meter. A
flow meter is attached to the source of oxygen. An oxygen analyzer is a device that measures the
percentage of delivered oxygen to determine if the client is receiving the amount prescribed by the
physician. A humidifier is a device that produces small water droplets and may be used during oxygen
administration, since oxygen dries the mucous membranes. A nasal cannula is a hollow tube with half-
inch prongs placed into the client's nostrils. It provides a means for administering a low concentration of
oxygen
Which of the following dietary guidelines would be appropriate for the elderly homebound client with
advanced respiratory disease who informs the nurse that she has no energy to eat?
a) Snack on high-carbohydrate foods frequently
b) Contact the physician for Ensure
c) Eat one large meal at noon
d) Eat smaller meals that are high in protein - Answer Correct response: Eat smaller meals that are high
in protein
Explanation:
The client should consume a diet in which the body can produce plasma proteins. The client should have
sufficient caloric and protein intake for respiratory muscle strength.
, The nurse is developing a plan of care for a client admitted with pneumonia. The nurse has determined
that a priority nursing diagnosis for this client is "Ineffective Airway Clearance related to copious and
tenacious secretions." Based upon this nursing diagnosis, what is an appropriate nursing intervention to
include in the client's care plan?
a) Encouraging the client to consume two to three quarts of clear fluids daily
b) Creating an environment that is likely to reduce anxiety
c) Positioning the client supine
d) Encouraging the client to decrease the number of cigarettes smoked daily - Answer Correct
response: Encouraging the client to consume two to three quarts of clear fluids daily
Explanation:
Clients can help keep their secretions thin by drinking two to three quarts (1.9 L to 2.9 L) of clear fluids
daily. Although it is important to create an environment that is likely to reduce a client's anxiety, doing so
will not assist in promoting airway clearance. The nurse should not encourage the client to decrease the
number of cigarettes smoked daily, but should encourage the client to stop smoking. Proper positioning
to ease respirations includes placing the client in a high-Fowler's position.
A client has been put on oxygen therapy because of low oxygen saturation levels in the blood. What
should the nurse use to regulate the amount of oxygen delivered to the client?
The nurse should use a flowmeter to regulate the amount of oxygen delivered to the client. A flowmeter
is a gauge used to regulate the amount of oxygen delivered to the client and is attached to the source of
oxygen. An oxygen analyzer is a device that measures the percentage of delivered oxygen to determine if
the client is receiving the amount prescribed by the physician. An adhesive nasal strip increases the nasal
diameter and promotes easier breathing. A nasal cannula is a hollow tube used for delivering a small
concentration of oxygen. However, these devices are not used to regulate the amount of oxygen
delivered to the client.
