The patient with a chronic obstructive respiratory disease is receiving oxygen via a nasal cannula. The nurse plans to include which of the following interventions in the patient's care?
 
  a. Assess nares for skin breakdown every 6 hours.
  b. Check patency of the cannula every 2 hours.
  c. Inspect the mouth every 6 hours.
  d. Check oxygen flow every 24 hours.

Question 2

The nurse is teaching the patient about dietary guidelines. In discussing the four components of dietary reference intakes (DRIs), it is important to understand that
 
  a. The estimated average requirement (EAR) is appropriate for 100 of the population.
  b. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) meets the needs of the individual.
  c. Adequate intake (AI) determines the nutrient requirements of the RDA.
  d. The tolerable upper intake level (UL) is not a recommended level of intake.

Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A The nurse caring for the patient with a nasal cannula should plan to assess the patient's nares and superior surface of both ears for skin breakdown every 6 hours.
B The nurse should check patency of the cannula every 8 hours; he or she should not need to check every 2 hours.
C The nurse does not need to check the patient's mouth in relation to the patient's use of a nasal cannula. The nurse should continue providing oral hygiene and may assess the mouth (i.e., tongue) for cyanosis, along with other assessment measures.
D Oxygen flow should be monitored continuously, not every 24 hours.

Answer to Question 2

D
The tolerable upper intake level (UL) is the highest level that likely poses no risk of adverse health events. It is not a recommended level of intake. The EAR is the recommended amount of a nutrient that appears sufficient to maintain a specific body function for 50 of the population based on age and gender. The RDA reflects the average needs of 98 of the population, not the exact needs of the individual. AI is the suggested intake for individuals based on observed or experimentally determined estimates of nutrient intakes and is used when evidence is insufficient for setting of the RDA.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
