Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Although the ideal would be for the spouse to stop smoking, as this would be healthiest for both the client and the spouse, the most important information for both the client and spouse to understand is the danger of smoking around the oxygen delivery equipment.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

The infant will not usually allow placement of a mask of any type, and this is not an effective means of delivering oxygen to young children. Infants might tolerate nasal cannulas if the tubing is secured using tape, but the older infant or toddler will usually attempt to pull it off. Oxygen hoods allow placement over the child's face allowing uninterrupted delivery of oxygen.
