Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: There is no need to turn the client to either side.
Rationale 2: All oxygen is delivered at 100, so there is no method to increase the percentage of oxygen being delivered.
Rationale 3: The seal between the client's face and the mask should be snug, but will not be airtight.
Rationale 4: To prevent carbon dioxide buildup, the nonrebreather bag must not totally deflate during inspiration. If it does, the nurse can correct this problem by increasing the liter flow of oxygen.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: There are no data that support Ineffective Breathing Pattern as a diagnosis.
Rationale 2: There are no data that support Anxiety as a diagnosis.
Rationale 3: The data given for this client best support the nursing diagnosis of Ineffective Airway Clearance. The most supportive finding for this diagnosis is crackles in both lung bases.
Rationale 4: There are no data that support Impaired Gas Exchange as a diagnosis.
