Oxygenation NCLEX Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing oxygen therapy to a client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Which oxygen delivery system would be most appropriate for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Venturi mask is the most appropriate oxygen delivery system for clients with COPD as it provides a precise and controlled oxygen concentration. This system allows for a specific amount of room air to mix with oxygen, ensuring a precise oxygen level is delivered without the risk of excessive oxygen concentration, which could suppress the hypoxic drive in COPD patients.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client receiving oxygen therapy via a mask. What is an important nursing intervention to prevent pressure ulcers on the client's face?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Placing padding between the oxygen mask and the client's skin helps distribute pressure and reduce the risk of pressure ulcers. It provides a cushioning effect and helps prevent direct contact between the mask and the skin.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client receiving oxygen therapy via a simple face mask. Which nursing intervention is important to prevent skin breakdown?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Oxygen masks, especially those that exert pressure on specific areas of the face, can cause skin breakdown and pressure ulcers. Padding the pressure points with soft material helps distribute the pressure more evenly and reduces the risk of skin damage.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client receiving oxygen therapy via a face tent. Which action by the nurse is important to ensure proper oxygen delivery?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Checking for condensation inside the face tent is important to ensure that the oxygen is effectively delivered to the client. Condensation can obstruct the flow of oxygen and reduce its effectiveness. The nurse should frequently check for condensation and take appropriate measures to maintain proper oxygen delivery.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse provides discharge teaching for a client who had a below-knee amputation. Which instructions should the nurse include?Select one that doesn't apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 1. To prevent skin breakdown and infection, it is important for the client to thoroughly clean and dry the socket. 3. Clean, well-fitted liners are necessary to prevent skin breakdown and to promote a secured prosthesis. 4. Shoes should fit symmetrically and evenly. This would indicate an accurate fit of the prosthetic limb. 6. The skin should be assessed daily for signs of skin breakdown, drainage, infection, inflammation and/or shrinkage.
