Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The dry suction or one-way valve system works even if knocked over, making it ideal for clients who are ambulatory.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, C, D

The nurse should inform the client who has been prescribed the use of a liquid oxygen unit that the unit may leak during warm weather; frozen moisture may occlude the outlet; and the unit is more expensive when compared with other portable sources of oxygen. Emission of a bad smell if filters are not cleaned, increase in the electric bill, and requirement of a secondary source of oxygen in case of failure are disadvantages of using an oxygen concentrator and are not related to the use of a liquid oxygen unit.
