Oxygen
A mask covering the nose and mouth used to deliver higher concentrations of oxygen than a nasal cannula.
Oxygen Mask
Built to accommodate more weight it is also wider than a standard bed.
Bariatric Beds
A non-invasive device that continuously monitors the oxygen saturation (SpO2) in a patient’s blood.
Continous Pulse Oximetry
When suctioning a patient raise the bed to what angle?
45 Degrees
A device with two prongs inserted into the nostrils to deliver low to moderate levels of oxygen.
Nasal Canula
Circulates air/water under a patient reducing the risk of pressure ulcers.
Alternating Pressure Beds
A device that continuously tracks and displays a patient’s heart rate and rhythm in real-time.

Ventilator
Supports patients on a fabric layer containing small beads that are kept in constant motion by circulating air.
Alternating Beds
Machines that deliver fluids or medications into a patient's bloodstream at controlled rates.
Infusion Pumps
What are the two types of feeding tubes?
Nasogastric and Nasointestinal
A condition where there is insufficient oxygen reaching the tissues and organs of the body.
Hypoxia
Provides vibration and circulation to patients, as well as assists in repositioning patients.
A monitor that measures the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in a patient’s exhaled air to assess respiratory status.
Capnography Monitor
How should suction be tested before use on a patient?
Insert the tip of the catheter into a basin of sterile normal saline.
