Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Because healthcare workers are at risk for developing sudden acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) after caring for infected patients, infection control precautions should be immediately instituted when SARS is suspected. Standard precautions should be implemented in addition to contact and airborne precautions. The patient needs more than standard precautions. Droplet precautions are not identified as being necessary with this health problem.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Low-flow oxygen delivery systems include the nasal cannula, simple face mask, partial rebreathing mask, and nonrebreathing mask. A nasal cannula can deliver 24 to 45 oxygen concentrations with flow rates of 2 to 6 L/min. The nasal cannula is comfortable and does not interfere with eating or talking. A simple face mask delivers 40 to 60 oxygen concentrations with flow rates of 5 to 8 L/min. This patient's condition is most likely improving. There is not enough information to determine if this patient's condition is stabilizing or is compounded with another health issue.
