Oxygen NCLEX Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A client is scheduled for NGT Feeding. Checking the residual volume, you determined that he has 40 cc residual from the last feeding. You reinstill the 40 cc of residual volume and added the 250 cc of feeding ordered by the doctor. You then instill 60 cc of water to clear the lumen and the tube. How much will you put in the client's chart as input?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Total input = 250 cc (feeding) + 60 cc (water) = 310 cc; residual is not counted as new input since it was reinstilled.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following would be the most appropriate initial management of an unconscious patient who has laboured and noisy respirations?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Head tilt-chin lift is the initial step to open the airway in an unconscious patient, addressing noisy respirations before more invasive measures.
Question 3 of 5
What recommendation would you suggest to improve ventilation based on the following pressure and flow waveform?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Without the waveform, the answer key suggests 'a'. Increasing inspiratory time typically improves ventilation by allowing more time for gas delivery, likely addressing inadequate tidal volume.
Question 4 of 5
Which medication is most effective in treating acute pulmonary edema as a result of CHF?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Furosemide, a loop diuretic, rapidly reduces fluid overload in acute pulmonary edema due to CHF.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is the term for irregular breathing with increasing and decreasing intensity and periods of apnea?
Correct Answer: B
