- B.
Partial Rebreathing Mask
- C.
Non-Rebreathing Mask
- D.
Aerosol Mask
Correct Answer(s)
A. Simple Mask
B. Partial Rebreathing Mask
C. Non-Rebreathing MaskExplanation
The three types of O2 delivery masks are the Simple Mask, Partial Rebreathing Mask, and Non-Rebreathing Mask. These masks are used to deliver oxygen to patients who require supplemental oxygen therapy. The Simple Mask covers the patient's nose and mouth and delivers a flow of oxygen. The Partial Rebreathing Mask allows the patient to rebreathe some of their exhaled air, while still receiving supplemental oxygen. The Non-Rebreathing Mask has a one-way valve that prevents the patient from rebreathing exhaled air, ensuring they receive a higher concentration of oxygen.Rate this question:

Generally the best method for delivering controlled O2 to infants
- A.
Simple Mask
- B.
Venti Mask
- C.
O2 hood (Oxyhood)
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
C. O2 hood (Oxyhood)Explanation
The O2 hood (Oxyhood) is generally considered the best method for delivering controlled oxygen to infants. This is because the Oxyhood provides a more precise and controlled delivery of oxygen compared to simple masks or venti masks. The Oxyhood covers the infant's head and provides a closed system, allowing for accurate monitoring and adjustment of oxygen levels. It also minimizes the risk of oxygen dilution or contamination from room air. Therefore, the Oxyhood is the preferred choice for delivering controlled oxygen therapy to infants.Rate this question:

If a patient is breathing greater than <25 BPM what O2 Delivery system would you use
- A.
Low flow mask
- B.
Reservoir mask
- C.
High flow mask
- D.
Administer epinephrine
Correct Answer
A. Low flow maskExplanation
A patient who is breathing at a rate greater than 25 breaths per minute would require a low flow oxygen delivery system. Low flow masks, such as nasal cannula or simple face masks, deliver a specific amount of oxygen mixed with room air. They are suitable for patients who are breathing spontaneously and have a normal or near-normal breathing pattern. The low flow mask allows the patient to breathe in oxygen during inhalation and exhale carbon dioxide during exhalation. This system is effective for maintaining oxygen levels but may not provide a high concentration of oxygen.Rate this question:

- A.
Low flow mask
- B.
Reservoir mask
- C.
High flow mask
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
C. High flow maskExplanation
A high flow mask is the correct answer because it delivers oxygen at a flow rate that equals or exceeds the patient's peak inspiratory flow. This ensures that the patient receives an adequate concentration of oxygen regardless of their breathing patterns. Low flow masks and reservoir masks may not provide enough oxygen if the patient's flow exceeds the delivered flow.Rate this question:

- A.
Nasal canula (low flow)
- B.
Venturi mask
- C.
Simple mask
- D.
Nasal moustache/oxymizer
Correct Answer
A. Nasal canula (low flow)Explanation
The correct answer is nasal canula (low flow). This is because a nasal canula delivers a low flow of oxygen to the patient, typically ranging from 0.24 to 0.40 liters per minute. The amount of oxygen delivered can vary depending on how much room air the patient inhales in addition to the oxygen. Other options like the venturi mask, simple mask, and nasal moustache/oxymizer may deliver higher flows of oxygen and are not considered low flow devices.Rate this question:

What are some indications of a low flow system
- A.
RR < 25 bpm
- B.
Regular, consistent breathing pattern
- C.
VT between 300-700 mL
- D.
A and B only
Correct Answer(s)
A. RR < 25 bpm
B. Regular, consistent breathing pattern
C. VT between 300-700 mLExplanation
A low flow system is characterized by a respiratory rate (RR) of less than 25 breaths per minute (bpm), a regular and consistent breathing pattern, and a tidal volume (VT) between 300-700 mL. These indications suggest that the individual is experiencing a decreased respiratory effort and a reduced amount of air being exchanged during each breath. This can be seen in conditions such as respiratory depression or shallow breathing, which can lead to inadequate oxygenation and ventilation.Rate this question:

Under what circumstances can a high flow system become a low flow system
- A.
Whenever consistent and predictable FIO2 is required
- B.
When the pts inspiratory flow demands aren't met due to room air entrainment
- C.
When Pt. does not meet low flow criteria
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
B. When the pts inspiratory flow demands aren't met due to room air entrainmentExplanation
A high flow system can become a low flow system when the patient's inspiratory flow demands are not met due to room air entrainment. This means that the system is unable to provide the required amount of oxygen to the patient because air from the surrounding environment is being mixed with the oxygen supply. As a result, the flow of oxygen delivered to the patient is reduced, turning the high flow system into a low flow system. This can happen in situations where consistent and predictable FIO2 is required, or when the patient does not meet the criteria for low flow systems.Rate this question:

- A.
Hb
- B.
PaCO2
- C.
BPM
- D.
LPM
Correct Answer(s)
C. BPM
D. LPMExplanation
The given question asks about the factors that affect FiO2 (Fraction of Inspired Oxygen) in low flow systems. FiO2 is primarily affected by two factors: BPM (Breaths per Minute) and LPM (Liters per Minute). These factors determine the rate at which oxygen is delivered to the patient. Hb (Hemoglobin) and PaCO2 (Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide) are not directly related to the FiO2 in low flow systems.Rate this question:

- A.
More air and less FiO2
- B.
Option 2
- C.
Option 3
- D.
Option 4
Correct Answer
A. More air and less FiO2Explanation
The correct answer is "more air and less FiO2." This means that when the inspiration flow is greater (low flow), there will be an increase in the amount of air delivered to the patient and a decrease in the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) provided. This is because a higher flow rate allows for more air to be delivered, but the concentration of oxygen in that air is reduced.Rate this question:

Patient has a tidal volume of 500 mL and the respiratory rate is regular at 20. What system should they be on?
- A.
Low flow system
- B.
Reservoir system
- C.
High flow system
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. Low flow systemExplanation
The patient should be on a low flow system because their tidal volume of 500 mL and regular respiratory rate of 20 indicate that they have a relatively stable and consistent breathing pattern. A low flow system can provide the necessary amount of oxygen to support their breathing without exceeding their needs. A reservoir system, on the other hand, would be more suitable for patients with irregular breathing patterns or higher oxygen requirements. A high flow system would deliver a higher flow rate of oxygen, which may not be necessary or beneficial for this patient. Therefore, the correct system for this patient is a low flow system.Rate this question:
