A nurse is caring for a client who is in respiratory distress. Which of the
following low-flow delivery devices should the nurse use to provide the
client with the highest level of oxygen?
A.) Nasal cannula
B.) Nonrebreather mask
C.) Simple face mask
D.) Partial rebreather mask - ANS ✓Nonrebreather mask
The nurse should use a nonrebreather mask for a client who is in
respiratory distress to provide the highest oxygen level. A nonrebreather
mask is made up of a reservoir bag from which the client obtains the
oxygen, a one-way valve to prevent exhaled air from entering the reservoir
bag, and exhalation ports with flaps that prevent room air from entering
the mask. This device delivers greater than 90% FiO2.
A nurse is caring for four clients. Which of the following clients is at
greatest risk for pulmonary embolism?
A client who is 48 hr postoperative following a total hip arthroplasty
A client who is 8 hr postoperative following an open surgical appendectomy
A client who is 2 hr postoperative following an open reduction external
fixation of the right radius
A client who is 4 hr postoperative following a laparoscopic cholecystectomy
- ANS ✓A client who is 48 hr postoperative following a total hip arthroplasty
The nurse should identify that a client who has undergone a total hip
arthroplasty surgery is at greatest risk for a pulmonary embolus because of
decreased mobility of the affected extremity and an increased amount of
blood clots forming in the veins of the thigh following hip surgery. Deep-
vein thromboses are most likely to occur 48 to 72 hr following the
arthroplasty. The nurse should intervene to reduce the risk by applying
sequential compression devices or antiembolic stockings and by
administering anticoagulant medications.
