Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has pneumonia and a prescription for oxygen therapy at 5 L/min via nasal cannula. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Attach a humidifier bottle to the base of the flow meter. Oxygen therapy can dry out the mucous membranes, leading to discomfort and potential complications. Attaching a humidifier bottle to the flow meter adds moisture to the oxygen, preventing dryness and irritation in the client's nasal passages. This helps maintain the client's respiratory comfort and prevents further complications.
A: Securing the oxygen tubing to the bed sheet near the client's head is not necessary and does not contribute to the client's oxygen therapy effectiveness.
C: Applying petroleum jelly to the nares can be harmful as it can interfere with the delivery of oxygen.
D: Removing the nasal cannula while the client eats can compromise oxygen delivery, which is essential for a client with pneumonia.
