Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) receiving long-term oxygen therapy at home. What should the nurse include in the client's teaching regarding oxygen safety?

Question 5 of 5
A nurse explains how to recognize an impending attack to the parents of a child who has asthma. Which symptoms should be discussed? Select one that doesn't apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 1. Itching, especially of the front of the neck and upper part of back, are associated with an impending asthma attack. Prodromal symptoms usually begin to occur approximately six hours before an attack. 3. Headache is not associated with asthma prodrome but is listed as correct in the document; however, this may be a typo—correct symptoms include other options. 4. A change in behavior, usually agitation and irritability, may indicate an impending asthma attack. 5. Abdominal discomfort and anorexia are prodromal symptoms.
