  3. Question 3
    • They produce hemoglobin.
    • They allow oxygen to enter the bloodstream and carbon dioxide to leave it.
    • They pump blood through systemic arteries.
    • They mechanically move the chest wall.
  4. Question 4
    • Hemoglobin production in the lungs
    • Effective cardiac pumping
    • Bronchial airway clearance
    • Alveolar gas exchange
  5. Question 5
    • Opening of the bronchial airways
    • Movement of air into the lungs
    • Transport of oxygenated blood to tissues
    • Release of carbon dioxide into the alveoli
  6. Question 6
    • It exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveoli.
    • It carries oxygen to tissues and carries carbon dioxide back toward the lungs.
    • It pumps oxygenated blood through the heart.
    • It mechanically moves air through the bronchi.
  7. Question 7
    • Uncomplicated vision change
    • Anemia
    • Temporary nail discoloration
    • Minor skin dryness
  8. Question 8
    • It can interfere with the respiratory process needed for oxygen exchange.
    • It converts hemoglobin into carbon dioxide.
    • It eliminates oxygen from ambient air.
    • It prevents the heart from being a muscle.
  9. Question 9
    • A normal ability to breathe room air
    • A preference for sitting near a window
    • A condition affecting the lungs or heart
    • A normal amount of hemoglobin
  10. Question 10
    • The respiratory system exchanges gases, while the cardiovascular system transports oxygenated blood.
    • The respiratory system circulates blood while the cardiovascular system opens the airway.
    • Both systems produce hemoglobin in the alveoli.
    • Both systems remove oxygen from the bloodstream.
  11. Question 11
    • To cause the heart to pump without blood
    • To eliminate the need for continuous assessment
    • To provide additional oxygen when normal oxygenation is insufficient
    • To replace the need for a patent airway
  12. Question 12
    • Oxygen is treated as a medication and requires a prescription.
    • Oxygen can be started at any flow rate without an order.
    • Oxygen is environmental air and never requires a prescription.
    • Oxygen is used without monitoring because it is naturally occurring.
  13. Question 13
    • A hemoglobin molecule
    • A wall-based oxygen outlet
    • A systemic artery
    • An alveolus
  14. Question 14
    • A bronchial airway
    • An alveolar membrane
    • A systemic artery
    • A transportable oxygen cylinder
  15. Question 15
    • Identify the oxygen source and prescribed delivery setup.
    • Disconnect the flow meter from the supply source.
    • Select an interface without considering the prescription.
    • Choose a flow rate based only on personal preference.
  16. Question 16
    • The patient's hemoglobin amount
    • The prescribed flow rate of oxygen
    • The patient's cardiac pumping strength
    • The percentage of oxygen in ambient air
  17. Question 17
    • Estimate the rate from the patient's appearance alone.
    • Set the flow meter to the prescribed rate.
    • Leave the flow meter closed while applying the interface.
    • Set the flow meter to its highest available rate.
  18. Question 18
    • The color of the equipment
    • The patient's preferred room temperature
    • The location of the nearest sink
    • The prescription and intended delivery method
  19. Question 19
    • Fixed sources are carried by the patient; portable sources are permanently installed.
    • Fixed sources remain connected to the clinical environment; portable sources can be transported.
    • Both sources function only as pulse oximeters.
    • Both sources are anatomical structures used for gas exchange.
  20. Question 20
    • The patient's room determines the flow rate.
    • Ambient air always contains enough oxygen for every patient.
    • Flow meters do not control oxygen delivery.
    • Oxygen is considered a medication requiring prescribed use.
  21. Question 21
    • A second alveolus
    • A replacement hemoglobin molecule
    • A portable oxygen source
    • A systemic artery
  22. Question 22
    • Connect the prescribed interface to an appropriate oxygen source and set the prescribed rate.
    • Apply the interface without connecting it to a source.
    • Use a body structure as the oxygen delivery device.
    • Connect the interface after choosing an unprescribed rate.
  23. Question 23
    • The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
    • The care setting and the patient's need for movement
    • The patient's hemoglobin type
    • The appearance of the patient's skin alone
  24. Question 24
    • It provides a route for prescribed oxygen to reach the patient.
    • It produces hemoglobin in the bloodstream.
    • It replaces the patient's cardiovascular system.
    • It changes the oxygen percentage of outdoor air.
  25. Question 25
    • A labeled oxygen supply source
    • A combustible material placed near the oxygen equipment
    • A secured delivery interface
    • A documented prescribed flow rate
  26. Question 26
    • Oxygen eliminates all combustible materials.
    • Oxygen makes prescriptions unnecessary.
    • Oxygen can increase fire-related hazards.
    • Oxygen prevents equipment from requiring maintenance.
