Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse must ensure that the rate of flow of oxygen is high enough so that carbon dioxide flushes out of the hood. The nurse must place a bath blanket on top of bed linens to absorb moisture so the child stays warm and dry in a mist tent, but not in an oxyhood. The oxyhood is a clear plastic box that fits over a small child's head; it is not a semitransparent box. The oxygen must be humidified and not dry to prevent damage to respiratory mucosa.
