Question 1 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?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ensuring the reservoir bag stays inflated (A) is critical for a non-rebreather, maintaining a high oxygen reserve (up to 95%) for inhalation. Client-preferred flow (B) lacks medical basis. Q2h SpO2 (C) may be too infrequent. Meal removal (D) disrupts therapy. Bag inflation, per respiratory care, ensures efficacy.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following symptoms is associated with exacerbation of multiple sclerosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Diplopia (double vision) is a frequent symptom during multiple sclerosis (MS) exacerbations, reflecting inflammation of optic or cranial nerves, disrupting coordination a hallmark of this demyelinating disease. Anorexia, seizures, or insomnia may occur but aren't as specific to MS flares. Nurses identify this visual disturbance to gauge relapse severity, guiding steroid or symptomatic treatment, and educate clients to report it, enhancing disease monitoring and quality of life.
Question 3 of 5

Question 4 of 5
The nurse is preparing a client with a fractured femur for discharge. Which piece of equipment should be taught to the client prior to discharge?
Correct Answer: C

Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Which oxygen delivery method is most appropriate for the client with COPD?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Nasal cannula at 2 liters per minute suits COPD, providing low-flow oxygen without suppressing hypoxic drive higher flows or masks (Venturi, simple, non-rebreather) risk hypercapnia. Nurses monitor saturation, ensuring safe oxygenation tailored to COPD's chronic retention physiology.
