Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to measure a client's oxygen saturation and notes edema of the client's hands and thickened toenails. Where should the nurse apply the pulse oximeter probe?

Extract:
A client is receiving oxygen at 2 L/min via a nasal cannula
Question 4 of 5
A client is receiving oxygen at 2 L/min via a nasal cannula. What oxygen concentration is the client receiving?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The client is receiving an oxygen concentration of 28%. Nasal cannulas deliver oxygen at a flow rate ranging from 1 to 6 liters per minute, with each additional liter increasing the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) by 4%.
Therefore, at 2 L/min, the client is receiving an oxygen concentration of 28%.
