NURS 3105 FPCC - Ch 40
(Oxygenation) Review Questions with
Correct Answers 100% Pass

Which of the following patients would have the greatest potential for an alteration in

respiration?


A.) 15 year-old male with a migraine headache.


B.) 44 year-old female with anemia.


C.) 19 year-old female with diarrhea.


D.) 32 year-old male with an ear ache. - ANSWER✔✔-B




REASON: Hemoglobin carries about 97% of oxygen to the tissues. Anemia lowers the

oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood and potentially leads to hypoxia.


Which of the following, if exhibited by the patient, would indicate late hypoxia?


A.) Restlessness


B.) Anxiety

,C.) Eupnea


D.) Cyanosis - ANSWER✔✔-D




REASON: Restlessness and anxiety are early indicators of hypoxia. Cyanosis is a late

indicator of hypoxia. Eupnea is normal respiration.


Which of the following would lead to an increase in oxygen demand?


A.) A fever


B.) Sleep


C.) Taking a narcotic


D.) Postural drainage - ANSWER✔✔-A




REASON: Increased metabolic activity associated with a fever increases tissue oxygen

demand. Postural drainage is an intervention used to mobilize secretions and maintain

an open airway.


What nursing intervention is appropriate for the patient with a large amount of

sputum?


A.) Perform nasotracheal suctioning every hour


B.) Encourage the patient to cough every hour while awake

, C.) Place the patient on fluid restriction


D.) Avoid all milk products - ANSWER✔✔-B




REASON: A patient with a large amount of sputum should be encouraged to cough

every hour while awake. Suctioning should be performed on an as-needed basis.

Adequate fluids should be maintained to help keep secretions thin and easy to

expectorate. Although milk has a protein structure similar to sputum, it does not

increase sputum production and plays an important role in nutrition.


An elderly woman is hospitalized with pneumonia and anemia. She is weak and has a

poor cough effort. She has a history of cardiomyopathy. Her current vital signs are

temperature 100.2 °F, pulse 114, respiration 26, blood pressure 106/58. She has oxygen

ordered at 2 liters by nasal cannula. Her oxygen saturation measures 88% when on

room air, 93% with supplemental oxygen. She develops shortness of breath on any

activity and eats little because it is difficult for her to eat and breathe at the same time.

Which of the following are risk factors for this patient developing hypoxia? (Select all

that apply.)


A.) Anemia


B.) Tachycardia


C.) Increased secretions with weak cough
