Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

The client should be taught to exhale as quickly and forcefully as possible, not slowly and deeply, when measuring peak expiratory flow. All of the other instructions are correct.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Prior to placing the mask, cannula, or tent on the client, the nurse should regulate the flow of oxygen and ensure proper functioning. Only after the flow has begun would the nurse fit the delivery device to the client. If the device does not function properly, and it is in place on the client's face, the client could potentially become hypoxic.
