Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
When a simple mask is used for a client with nasal trauma who breathes through the mouth, oxygen is delivered at no less than 5 L/min. A simple mask, like other types of masks, allows the administration of higher levels of oxygen than are possible with a cannula. A simple mask is sometimes substituted for a cannula when a client has nasal trauma or breathes through the mouth. When a simple mask is used, oxygen is delivered at no less than 5 L/min.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Fluid homeostasis is the dynamic interplay of three processes: fluid intake and absorption, fluid distribution, and fluid output. Our daily fluid output consists of hypotonic sodium-containing fluid. To maintain fluid balance, we must have an intake of an equivalent amount of hypotonic sodium-containing fluid (water plus foods with some salt). Fluid is not catabolized (broken down into components to release energy) in the body.
