Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Hypoxia sometimes occurs at home when a patient uses oxygen. Possible causes of hypoxia include poor tubing connections, use of long oxygen tubing, and worsening of the patient's physical problem with changes in respiratory status. Assess the patient for changes in respiratory status, such as airway plugging, respiratory tract infection, or bronchospasm.

Answer to Question 2

C, D
Symptoms of hypothermia: cool skin, uncontrolled shivering, loss of memory, and signs of poor judgment. Symptoms of fever: warm, dry, flushed skin; feeling warm; chills; piloerection; malaise; and restlessness. The patient needs to recognize onset of fever in self or family member for early detection and intervention.
