Nursing Questions on Oxygenation Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse with a latent TB infection should be treated with what?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The nurse is considered to have a latent TB infection and should be treated with INH daily for 6 to 9 months. The four-drug therapy would be appropriate if the nurse had active TB. TB skin testing is not done for individuals who have already had a positive skin test result.
Question 2 of 5
How can a patient with COPD increase caloric intake?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Eating small amounts more frequently (as occurs with snacking) will increase caloric intake by decreasing the fatigue and feelings of fullness associated with large meals. Patients with COPD should rest before meals.

Which symptom indicates respiratory distress requiring rapid intervention?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Use of accessory muscle indicates that the patient is experiencing respiratory distress, and rapid intervention is needed. The other data indicate the need for ongoing monitoring and assessment but do not suggest that immediate treatment is required.
Question 4 of 5
Which is a physical property of oxygen?

Question 5 of 5
A nurse auscultates a harsh hollow sound over a client's trachea and larynx. What action would the nurse take first?
