NCLEX Practice Questions Oxygenation Questions
Question 1 of 5
There are no steps or measurements to follow for oxygenation.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: This statement is false because there are indeed steps and measurements to follow for oxygenation. Oxygenation can be achieved through various methods such as providing supplemental oxygen, ensuring proper ventilation, and monitoring oxygen saturation levels. Additionally, healthcare professionals use specific measurements and assessments to determine the effectiveness of oxygenation, such as arterial blood gas analysis and pulse oximetry readings. Therefore, the statement that there are no steps or measurements to follow for oxygenation is incorrect.

Question 3 of 5
A 5-year-old who has strep throat was given aspirin for fever. The nurse knows to expect which change in the child's respiratory pattern?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is known to cause metabolic acidosis in children when taken in high doses. Metabolic acidosis can lead to shallow respirations as a compensatory mechanism for the body to try and increase the blood pH by blowing off carbon dioxide (CO2). Shallow breathing helps reduce the amount of CO2 retained in the body, thus reducing serum pH levels. It is important to closely monitor the respiratory status of a child who has been given aspirin, especially with the risk of metabolic acidosis. It is contraindicated to give aspirin to children due to the risk of Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious condition.
