Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Code blue or Dr. Blue are common signals for a cardiopulmonary emergency. Codes red, yellow, and green are common codes used for other types of emergencies in various healthcare facilities.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The potential complication of administering oxygen in high concentration over many days is retinal damage in newborns. Oxygen therapy is used to treat thermal burns and does not cause thermal burns. The nurse should check for increased pulse, not decreased pulse, during oxygen therapy. Nares may become dry and irritated when the client is receiving oxygen with the nasal cannula, not through a mask.
