The nurse reinforcing information to parents about postural drainage, chest clapping, and breathing exercises reminds them that these treatments should be performed:

a. Before nebulization
b. After meals
c. Six times per day
d. Only before bedtime or naptime

Question 2

An 8 month old was admitted to the hospital last night with cold symptoms and respiratory distress. She is on a simple mask with a flow rate of 10 L and on a cardiorespiratory monitor.

The nurse goes into the infant's room to find her tachypneic, retracting, and slightly cyanotic with a pulse oximetry of 90. What would be the oxygen delivery system that may help the infant? 1. A venturi mask with an oxygen flow of 1 liter per minute.
2. A nasal cannula with an oxygen flow of 4 liters per minute.
3. An oxygen tent with an oxygen flow rate of 10 liters per minute.
4. A partial rebreather mask with an oxygen flow rate of 8 liters per minute.

Feedback
1. The pressure is not adequate to oxygenate the infant.
2. A nasal cannula does not deliver enough pure oxygen to raise the oxygen saturation of the infant.
3. The oxygen tent will not allow for enough pressure for the infant to raise the oxygen saturation.
4. A partial rebreather mask with an oxygen flow rate of 8 liters per minute will raise the oxygen saturation of the infant.
