Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Levels greater than 10 ppm can cause cell damage, hemorrhage, pulmonary edema, and death.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
An order for O2 therapy via protocol permits O2 therapy to be initiated, modified, or discon-tinued by the RT, provided that an assessment reveals that the patient meets previously approved clinical criteria. A well-designed O2 protocol ensures the patient (1) undergoes initial assessment, (2) is evaluated for protocol criteria, (3) receives a treatment plan that is modified according to need, and (4) stops receiving therapy as soon as it is no longer needed.
