Question

An adult client, who is diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is prescribed oxygen via nasal cannula at 1–4 L/min to be titrated to maintain oxygen saturation at 94%. The client is now demonstrating increased work of breathing and consistent oxygen saturation via continuous pulse oximetry of 91%–92%. Which type of high-flow oxygen delivery system change does the nurse anticipate to be used next? 1. Air entrainment (Venturi) mask at 40% FiO2 2. Bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) 3. Simple face mask at 10 L/min of oxygen flow 4. Non-rebreather face mask at 10 L/min
