- Question 2
- Tissues, airway, alveoli, bloodstream
- Bloodstream, bronchial airways, heart, alveoli
- Airway, alveoli, bloodstream, tissues
- Heart, airway, tissues, alveoli
- 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.
- Question 4
- Hemoglobin production in the lungs
- Effective cardiac pumping
- Bronchial airway clearance
- Alveolar gas exchange
- 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
- 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.
- Question 7
- Uncomplicated vision change
- Anemia
- Temporary nail discoloration
- Minor skin dryness
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- Question 13
- A hemoglobin molecule
- A wall-based oxygen outlet
- A systemic artery
- An alveolus
- Question 14
- A bronchial airway
- An alveolar membrane
- A systemic artery
- A transportable oxygen cylinder
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Question 21
- A second alveolus
- A replacement hemoglobin molecule
- A portable oxygen source
- A systemic artery
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- Question 25
- A labeled oxygen supply source
- A combustible material placed near the oxygen equipment
- A secured delivery interface
- A documented prescribed flow rate
- Question 26
- Oxygen eliminates all combustible materials.
- Oxygen makes prescriptions unnecessary.
- Oxygen can increase fire-related hazards.
- Oxygen prevents equipment from requiring maintenance.
- Question 27
- Store it beside combustible materials.
- Treat it as ordinary room furniture.
- Store and handle it according to safety protocols.
- Place it loosely where it can roll.
- Question 28
- Open the cylinder fully to stabilize it.
- Ignore it because oxygen cylinders do not require special handling.
- Address the storage or handling hazard according to facility safety procedures.
- Place combustible supplies next to it to prevent movement.
- Question 29
- As a routine cleaning agent
- As a medicinal agent requiring strict handling
- As a nutrition supplement
- As a decorative environmental gas
- Question 30
- The color of the patient's clothing
- The number of windows in an unrelated room
- Potential fire hazards near the oxygen equipment
- The patient's preferred television channel
