Decrease the workload hypoxemia imposes on the heart and lungs III. Correct documented arterial hypoxemia
According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology of the U.S. Department of Commerce, a gas cylinder that is color-coded brown and green should contain which of the following? A) O2–N2 mixture B) O2–CO2 mixture C) CO2 D) O2–He mixture D) O2–He mixture
What key property of He makes it useful as a therapeutic gas? A) low solubility B) chemical inertness C) low cost D) low density D) low density
The pressure of O2 or air in a bulk supply system is reduced to what standard working pressure? A) 10 psig B) 14 psig C) 25 psig D) 50 psig D) 50 psig
Which of the following would indicate a need for O2 therapy for an adult or child? I. SaO2 less than 90% II. PaCO2 greater than 45 mm Hg III. PaO2 less than 60 mm Hg I. SaO2 less than 90% III. PaO2 less than 60 mm Hg
When used to control the flow of medical gases to a patient, how is a Thorpe tube classified? variable-orifice, constant-pressure flowmeter device
A physician orders 40% O2 through an air-entrainment nebulizer for a patient with a minute volume of 12 L/min. What is the minimum nebulizer input flow required to ensure the prescribed FIO2? A) 8 L/min B) 10 L/min C) 12 L/min D) 14 L/min B) 10 L/min
What can properly applied O2 therapy decrease? I. Ventilatory demand II. Work of breathing III. Cardiac output I. Ventilatory demand II. Work of breathing III. Cardiac output
A COPD patient is being admitted to the ICU. The patient is a known CO2 retainer and is very lethargic with a pulse oximeter reading of 98% on a 50% air entrainment mask. What is the most appropriate course of action at this time. Decrease the oxygen until the pulse oximeter saturation is between 88 - 92%
Which of the following signs and symptoms are associated with the presence of hypoxemia? I. Tachypnea II. Tachycardia III. Cyanosis IV. Bradynea I. Tachypnea II. Tachycardia III. Cyanosis
You are planning a patient transport that will take about 1 1/2 hours. The patient requires manual ventilation with 10 L/min of O2. What is the minimum number of full E cylinders you would take with you? 2
You are transporting a patient to the ICU with an E cylinder using a bourdon gauge as a flowmeter. The O2 line leading to the patient's mask is tangled and the flow to the patient is obstructed. What will the flow rate reading on the bourdon gauge do? B) The gauge will read higher then the flow delivered
