Question 1 of 5

What is the desired peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (Spo2) level in the patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: This range is generally considered acceptable for most patients with COPD. It provides a balance between ensuring adequate oxygenation while avoiding the risk of oxygen toxicity. Oxygen saturation levels within this range can help alleviate symptoms of hypoxemia without causing hyperoxia.

Question 2 of 5

Which time would be ideal for the LPN/LVN to collect a sputum specimen?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Morning is considered the ideal time for collecting a sputum specimen. Overnight, mucus accumulates in the respiratory tract because the patient is less active and not clearing their throat or coughing as much. This means that the mucus is more concentrated and has had time to build up, providing a more substantial and representative sample of what is in the lungs.

Correct Answer: C
