Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and a prescription for oxygen therapy at 4L/min via nasal cannula. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Attaching a humidifier bottle to the base of the flow meter is the correct action for oxygen therapy at 4L/min. Humidification helps prevent dryness and irritation of the mucous membranes caused by prolonged oxygen therapy. Securing the oxygen tubing to the bed sheet may lead to disconnection or kinking. Removing the nasal cannula during eating can cause hypoxia. Petroleum jelly is flammable and unsafe with oxygen.
