Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with teaching a client who has obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) about continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: The CPAP device should be placed over the nose. Placing the CPAP device over the nose ensures that the pressurized air is delivered directly to the airway to keep it open during sleep, effectively treating OSA. Placing it over the nose also helps prevent air leaks and ensures optimal therapy effectiveness.
Choice A is incorrect because the CPAP device should fit snugly, not loosely, to form a proper seal.
Choice B is incorrect because CPAP delivers a continuous, constant pressure throughout the breathing cycle, not less pressure during exhalation.
Choice C is incorrect as CPAP is non-invasive and does not require a ventilation tube.
