What is important to remember for using oxygen at home with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease safety precautions?

"Avoid materials that generate static electricity."

"Smoking is allowed permitted when oxygen is in use."

"Acetone, oil, and alcohol are appropriate substances to use with clients who are using oxygen."

"Fire extinguishers do not need to be stored."

The nursing intervention that is appropriate for use with clients having an endotracheal tube is:

Communicating frequently with the client.

Rapidly assessing nasal and oral mucosa for redness and irritation.

When a client is suffering from respiratory difficulty and requires suctioning, the appropriate method to use is:

Portable or wall suction machine with tubing and collection receptacle.

After suctioning, appropriate follow-up evaluation of a client does not include:

Only document findings abnormal in the client record; the doctor will see the results when rounds on the client are done.

Compare findings to previous assessment data.

At the time of suctioning a client in ICU, the nurse sees that the activity causes deep breathing and coughing maneuvers. This is a good action because:

Deep breathing oxygenates the lungs, and coughing loosens and moves secretions in the lungs.

Deep breathing has zero effect.

It's is impossible to perform when someone has a respiratory disease.

The right nursing responsibility in client's caring with chest drainage systems would be:

Monitoring the patency and integrity of the drainage system.

Evaluating respiratory rate every four hours after the tube is inserted.

Not filling the water seal area of the unit.

Never use clamps with the drainage tubing.

Which of these clients is at the highest risk for developing an upper respiratory infection?

A 13-year-old with a broken leg

In promoting healthy breathing, which of these actions is not appropriate to follow?

Provide for rest periods during the day.

Eliminate or reduce the use of household pesticides and irritating chemical substances.

Oxygenation Quiz: Questions And Answers - Quiz

2.

The nursing intervention that is appropriate for use with clients having an endotracheal tube is:
- Providing room air
- Communicating frequently with the client.
- Rapidly assessing nasal and oral mucosa for redness and irritation.
- None of these
Correct Answer

A. Providing room air

Explanation

The correct answer is providing room air. Endotracheal tubes are used to maintain an open airway in clients who are unable to breathe on their own. Providing room air ensures that the client is receiving sufficient oxygenation. Communicating frequently with the client and rapidly assessing nasal and oral mucosa for redness and irritation are important nursing interventions, but they are not specific to clients with endotracheal tubes.

Safety is necessary when oxygenating a human.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Oxygenation is the process of supplying oxygen to the body, which is essential for human survival. However, oxygen can also be dangerous if not handled properly. High concentrations of oxygen can increase the risk of fire and explosion, and prolonged exposure to high levels of oxygen can cause lung damage. Therefore, safety measures such as proper ventilation and monitoring of oxygen levels are necessary when oxygenating a human to prevent any potential hazards.

When a client is suffering from respiratory difficulty and requires suctioning, the appropriate method to use is:
- Goggles are not needed.
- Portable or wall suction machine with tubing and collection receptacle.
- Dextrose-and-water solution
- Nasal cannula
Correct Answer

A. Portable or wall suction machine with tubing and collection receptacle.

Explanation

When a client is suffering from respiratory difficulty and requires suctioning, the appropriate method to use is a portable or wall suction machine with tubing and collection receptacle. This method is necessary to effectively remove excess secretions or fluids from the airway and improve the client's breathing. Goggles are not needed in this situation as they are not directly related to the suctioning procedure. Dextrose-and-water solution and nasal cannula are also not appropriate methods for suctioning and would not effectively address the respiratory difficulty.

After suctioning, appropriate follow-up evaluation of a client does not include:
- Assessment of vital signs
- Chart appearance if secretions
- Compare findings to previous assessment data.
- Only document findings abnormal in the client record; the doctor will see the results when rounds on the client are done.
- All of the above
Correct Answer

A. Only document findings abnormal in the client record; the doctor will see the results when rounds on the client are done.

Explanation

The appropriate follow-up evaluation of a client after suctioning includes assessment of vital signs, charting the appearance of secretions, and comparing findings to previous assessment data. However, it is not correct to only document findings that are abnormal in the client record and assume that the doctor will see the results during rounds. It is important to document all findings, both normal and abnormal, for proper communication and continuity of care.

At the time of suctioning a client in ICU, the nurse sees that the activity causes deep breathing and coughing maneuvers. This is a good action because:
- Deep breathing has zero effect.
- Deep breathing oxygenates the lungs, and coughing loosens and moves secretions in the lungs.
- It's is impossible to perform when someone has a respiratory disease.
- None of these
Correct Answer

A. Deep breathing oxygenates the lungs, and coughing loosens and moves secretions in the lungs.

Explanation

Deep breathing and coughing maneuvers are beneficial during suctioning in the ICU because deep breathing helps to oxygenate the lungs, while coughing helps to loosen and move secretions in the lungs. This can help to clear the airways and improve respiratory function.

7.

There are no steps or measurements to follow for oxygenation.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

This statement is false because there are indeed steps and measurements to follow for oxygenation. Oxygenation can be achieved through various methods such as providing supplemental oxygen, ensuring proper ventilation, and monitoring oxygen saturation levels. Additionally, healthcare professionals use specific measurements and assessments to determine the effectiveness of oxygenation, such as arterial blood gas analysis and pulse oximetry readings. Therefore, the statement that there are no steps or measurements to follow for oxygenation is incorrect.

Which of these clients is at the highest risk for developing an upper respiratory infection?
- A 3-year-old in preschool
- A 13-year-old with a broken leg
- A 20-year-old healthy adult
- A 50-year-old non-smoker
Correct Answer

A. A 3-year-old in preschool

Explanation

Preschool-aged children, like the 3-year-old in this scenario, are at a higher risk for developing upper respiratory infections compared to other age groups. This is because their immune systems are still developing and they have frequent close contact with other children, making it easier for viruses to spread. Additionally, young children may not have developed good hygiene habits yet, such as proper handwashing, which further increases their risk of infection.

- Eliminate or reduce the use of household pesticides and irritating chemical substances.
- Make sure furnaces, ovens, and wood stoves are correctly ventilated.
- Provide for rest periods during the day.
- Sit straight and stand erect to permit full lung expansion.
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. Provide for rest periods during the day.

Explanation

While rest is important for overall well-being, it is not a specific action related to promoting healthy breathing. The other actions mentioned, such as eliminating or reducing household pesticides, ensuring proper ventilation, and maintaining good posture, are more directly related to supporting healthy respiratory function.
