Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The most recent definitions of nursing specify that nursing has an independent area of practice in addition to traditional dependent and interdependent functions involving physicians. This does not mean, however, that nursing is an alternative to medical treatment. Definitions have become broader over time and address the fact that nursing combines art with science.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The nurse should use a nasal cannula to administer oxygen to an asthmatic client who requires a low concentration of oxygen. A nasal cannula is a hollow tube with half-inch prongs placed into the client's nostrils. It is used for administering a low concentration of oxygen to clients who are not extremely hypoxic and are diagnosed with chronic lung disease. A simple mask allows the administration of higher levels of oxygen than a cannula. A face tent is used for clients with facial trauma and burns. Nonrebreather masks are used for clients requiring a high concentration of oxygen and are critically ill.
