Are you looking to test Your Knowledge about Oxygenation and Mechanisms of Hypoxemia? Oxygen is an essential part of sustaining living things and if one has low oxygen in their environment of blood, they may risk dying. Hypoxemia is the condition of having low oxygen in their blood thus the need for emergency additional oxygen. Take the quiz below and learn more about how this is made possible.

Oxygen from the air, transports it into the alveoli, where oxygen diffuses into capillaries and is carried by the blood to all cells of the body
Oxygen from the lungs, transports it into the trachea, where oxygen diffuses into capillaries and is carried by the blood to all cells of the body
Oxygen from the air, transports it into the diaphragm, where oxygen diffuses into arteries and is carried by the blood to all cells of the body

Once a shift, I should turn the patient
I should place the patient in high Fowler position.

There are no options to treat diffuse emphysema other than medications.
Exercise can be used to improve lung health and endurance.
Surgical options can be considered to improve lung health with diffuse emphysema.
Diffuse emphysema is a terminal disease.
Due to children's narrower airways, toddlers are at risk for airway obstruction.
Toddlers have more alveoli that require more air to move through the lungs.
Toddlers have lymph tissue that has atrophied and can lead to airway obstruction.
Toddlers' ribs are less flexible and may impede their ability to cough and clear their airway."

Here's an interesting quiz for you.
