N309 Final exam questions with correct answersWhat would the nurse do first when preparing to begin oxygen therapy
for a patient?
A. Educate the NAP about the oxygen orders.
B. Review the medical prescription for delivery method and flow rate.
C. Place a "No Smoking" sign outside of the hospital room.
D. Ensure that suction equipment is present in the room. Correct
Answer-B. Review the medical prescription for delivery method and
flow rate.
The nurse's initial action when preparing to begin oxygen therapy would
be to review the delivery method and flow rate specified on the medical
order. The NAP is not able to complete oxygen orders. Smoking is not
permitted inside hospitals. This sign would need to be put up at the
patient's home. Suction equipment is not needed for oxygen therapy.
When preparing the patient's environment for safe oxygen therapy,
which intervention is a priority to minimize the patient's risk for injury?
A. Place appropriate signage to alert staff and visitors to the presence of
oxygen in the patient's room.
B. Instruct nursing assistive personnel (NAP) to immediately correct or
report safety hazards.
C. Inspect all electrical equipment in the patient's room for the presence
of safety-check tags.
,D. Ensure that the patient receives the prescribed amount of oxygen via
the appropriate method. Correct Answer-C. Inspect all electrical
equipment in the patient's room for the presence of safety-check tags.
Inspecting electrical equipment would take priority among the other
interventions in providing environmental safety. Placing appropriate
signage to alert others to the presence of oxygen and instructing the
NAP to immediately correct or report safety hazards do not take priority
regarding environmental safety. Ensuring the patient receives the
prescribed amount of oxygen does not pertain to environmental safety.
When a patient is receiving oxygen at home, which instruction to the
family would help them understand how to use the oxygen safely?
A. Increase the oxygen level as needed for the patient's comfort.
B. Store extra oxygen cylinders horizontally.
C. Place a "No Smoking" sign at the entrance to the house.
D. Keep oxygen 5 feet (about 1.5 meters) away from anything that could
generate a spark. Correct Answer-B. Place a "No Smoking" sign at the
entrance to the house.
"No Smoking" signs should be placed throughout the house as well as at
the entrance. Oxygen may not be increased based on the patient's
comfort. Extra cylinders should be stored vertically. Keep oxygen at
least 10 feet (about 3 meters) away from anything that could generate a
spark.
, What would the nurse do first when preparing to educate the patient
about safe administration of oxygen therapy at home?
A. Evaluate the patient's understanding of the combustible nature of
oxygen.
B. Arrange for a capable family member to be present during the initial
discussion.
C. Collect written information to present to the patient as supplemental
instructional materials.
D. Assess the patient's emotional readiness and physical ability to
provide autonomous care. Correct Answer-D. Assess the patient's
emotional readiness and physical ability to provide autonomous care.
The nurse would first assess the patient's emotional readiness and
physical ability to provide self-care, since these attributes are necessary
in order to teach a patient effectively about oxygen administration.
Information about oxygen's combustibility will be provided during
patient education. The nurse might or might not need to arrange for a
capable family member to be present during the initial discussion. The
patient may be entirely capable of handling the oxygen equipment
himself or herself. Although written information is a part of patient
education, the nurse must first assess the patient's emotional readiness
and physical ability to provide self-care.
Which statement by the patient would indicate that he or she understands
the safe use of oxygen?
