Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client receiving oxygen therapy via a non-rebreather mask. What is an important nursing intervention for this client?

Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client receiving oxygen therapy via a nasal cannula. Which action by the nurse is appropriate when providing oral care to the client?

Question 5 of 5
A nurse cares for a toddler who has a decreased appetite, an erratic eating pattern, and fussiness at mealtime. Which recommendation should be made to the parents?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Toddlers prefer the routine of consistent mealtimes. Frequent nutritious planned snacks can replace a meal, but shouldn’t replace a regular sit-down meal.

Nutritious snacks include several small pieces of food such as crackers, carrots, sliced cold meat, and raisins.
