ambient or fluorescent lighting
patient is having chest pain, shortness of breathe and slightly cyanotic what should the nurse do first?
initiate oxygen therapy
trachesomeomy patient is receiving 15L/min with humification and develops increased respiratory distress, thick, dry secretion obstructing the airway what is the best initial action?
Nurse uses a pulse oximetry and it reads less than 90%, what should the nurse do first?
what is raise the head of the bed?
nasal canula provides how much oxygen?
what is delivers low concentration of oxygen?
patient has COPD, what is best way to maximize chest expansion and improve airway oxygenation ?
what is orthopneic position ?
patient with COPD is receiving oxygen but the patient tells the nurse they are having trouble breathing, what is the priority?
What is evaluate the clients respiratory status ?
A nurse would understand that a T piece should be what?
what is securely attached ?
Nurse notices edema in the clients hands, toenails, where can the nurse place the pulse oximeter probe?
what is the earlobe?
what should the nurse reinforce teaching for home oxygen therapy?
what is -
1. make sure straps on the mask are secure and not to tight
2. make sure top of patients ears are regularly checked for skin breakdown
3. Post "no smoking" warning signs at home in a prominent location

what is hand flushes within 15 seconds after releasing the pressure on the ulnar artery ?
a nurse would understand that the patient is correctly using diaphragmatic breathing by?
what is placing hands on the abdomen and noticing rising during inhalation and falling during exhalation?
note: this should be done at least twice a day for a period of 5 to 10 minutes
a nurse would understand that a partial rebreather mask should inflate how much to prevent rebreathing carbon dioxide?
what is flow rate 10-15 L/min ?
What is a CPAP?
CPAP mask fits snugly to prevent air leaks and maintain continuous positive airway pressure.
What is a adverse effect of an adverse effect of oxygen therapy?
what is no humidification
what can happen: cracks in oral mucous membranes, dry nasal passage way
patient has a reading of 89% oxygenation, would what would be the immediate priority?
what is administer oxygen and reassess the patient?
a patient is complaining about dryness nasal passages and discomfort what should the nurse do?
what is attach a humidifier ?
a nurse would understand that a patient with facial burns would benefit from what type of delivery devices ?
what is face tent
why: they do not create pressure on sensitive areas and provide humidified oxygen
What is a BiPAP
two different pressure levels: higher inspiratory positive airway pressure to assist inhalation and lower expiratory positive airway pressure
