Answer to Question 1

B
Because nurses have a limited amount of time with patients, it is essential to remain goal oriented and focused on patients' priorities. For example, priorities of care help you determine which procedures you perform first, patient assessments that you will do on an ongoing basis, and the anticipated response of your patient to care activities. The better you manage yourself leads to better management of your time. Patient priorities take precedence over nursing tasks, medication schedules, and ancillary procedures.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
In order to regulate the amount of oxygen delivered to the client, the nurse should use a flowmeter. A flowmeter is attached to the source of oxygen. An oxygen analyzer is a device that measures the percentage of delivered oxygen to determine whether the client is receiving the amount prescribed by the physician. A humidifier is a device that produces small water droplets and may be used during oxygen administration because oxygen dries the mucous membranes. A nasal cannula is a hollow tube with half-inch prongs placed into the client's nostrils. It provides a means for administering a low concentration of oxygen.
