Question 1 of 5
A provider is discharging a client with a prescription for home oxygen therapy. The nurse should reinforce which of the following instructions with the client and his family? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B,C,D
Rationale:
Correct Answer: B, C, D
Rationale:
B: Ensuring that the mask straps are secure but not too tight is important to prevent discomfort and skin breakdown from excessive pressure.
C: Checking the tops of the ears regularly for skin breakdown is crucial as oxygen tubing can cause irritation and pressure sores in this area.
D: Posting 'no smoking' warning signs at home is essential to prevent fire hazards, as oxygen therapy increases the risk of fire.
Incorrect
Choices:
A: Cleaning the mask or collar with soapy water every other day is not necessary. It should be cleaned daily to prevent the buildup of bacteria and dirt.
E: Applying petroleum jelly around and inside the nares is not recommended as it can interfere with oxygen absorption and increase the risk of infection.
F:
G:
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is performing chest physiotherapy for a client with a respiratory infection. Which of the following techniques should the nurse use to increase the velocity and turbulence of the air the client exhales?

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has pneumonia. The client's oxygen saturation is 85%. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Raise the head of the bed. This action is crucial to improve oxygenation in a client with pneumonia as it helps optimize lung expansion and ventilation. Elevating the head of the bed promotes better lung mechanics and enhances oxygenation by reducing pressure on the diaphragm and maximizing lung capacity. Increasing oral fluid intake (
A) may be beneficial for overall hydration but does not directly address the immediate oxygen saturation concern. Initiating humidification therapy (
B) may be helpful in some cases but is not the priority in this scenario. Encouraging coughing and deep breathing (
C) is important for airway clearance but should come after optimizing oxygenation.
