Question 1 of 5
A client is wearing a Venturi mask to deliver oxygen and the dinner tray has arrived. What action by the nurse is best?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Switching to a nasal cannula during meals allows the client to eat comfortably while still receiving oxygen. This ensures proper oxygenation during meals without compromising nutrition. Option A is incorrect because oxygen should not be turned off without a healthcare provider's order. Option C is incorrect as lifting the mask can reduce oxygen delivery. Option D is incorrect as oxygen should not be turned off abruptly. Switching to a nasal cannula is the safest and most appropriate option for clients using a Venturi mask during meals.
