Exam 23: Oxygen Therapy

Noninvasive ventilation (NIV)may be used for selected patients such as those with which diagnosis? (Select all that apply.)

________________ maintains positive airway pressure and improves alveolar ventilation without the need for an artificial airway.

Controlled oxygen administration for patients with decreased tissue oxygenation is known as _________________.

The patient is on a ventilator that is set to deliver 12 breaths per minute.The patient's respiratory rate is 24 breaths per minute.The nurse is aware that the patient is being allowed to breathe spontaneously in an attempt to wean the patient from the ventilator.Which mode is most appropriate for this?

_______________ helps the patient in deep breathing following abdominal or thoracic surgery to help reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary atelectasis.

The primary purpose of incentive spirometry is to reduce the incidence of:

The amount of air given to a patient (in milliliters per breath)by way of a ventilator is known as the ________________.

_______________ is a deficiency of arterial blood oxygen.

Both continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)and Bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP)modes of airway provide positive airway pressure to keep airways open.What is the main difference between these two modes?

The nurse is caring for a patient on a mechanical ventilator.She suddenly hears the low-pressure alarm sound.What should the nurse do?

Which of the following is an unexpected outcome of oxygen delivery via nasal cannula?

Which of the following directly affects oxygenation? (Select all that apply.)

The nurse is placing the patient on CPAP.To do so,she ensures which of the following? (Select all that apply.)

The patient is on a ventilator,and the ventilator delivers a preset number of breaths at a predetermined tidal volume.If the patient tries to breathe on his own,the ventilator then completes the breath at the predetermined tidal volume.What type of ventilator mode is this?

A patient is admitted to the emergency department following a motor vehicle accident.The patient is unconscious and has a broken jaw and facial lacerations.The patient's breath sounds are diminished,and the doctor suspects atelectasis.The patient most likely is a candidate for:

What is the proper technique to use for administering oxygen to a patient with an artificial airway?
