Question 1 of 5
The nursing assistant tells you that a patient who is receiving oxygen at a flow rate of 6 L/min by nasal cannula is complaining of nasal passage discomfort. What intervention should you suggest to improve the patient's comfort for this problem?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Humidifying the oxygen can help alleviate nasal discomfort caused by the drying effect of high-flow oxygen. Sitting up or using an extra pillow may improve comfort but will not address the dryness caused by the oxygen flow. Switching to a face mask is not necessary unless the patient requires a higher oxygen concentration.
