B) Oxygen analyzer
C) Humidifier
D) Nasal cannula
A
Feedback:
In order to regulate the amount of oxygen delivered to the client, the nurse should use a flowmeter. A flowmeter is attached to the source of oxygen. An oxygen analyzer is a device that measures the percentage of delivered oxygen to determine whether the client is receiving the amount prescribed by the physician. A humidifier is a device that produces small water droplets and may be used during oxygen administration because oxygen dries the mucous membranes. A nasal cannula is a hollow tube with half-inch prongs placed into the client's nostrils. It provides a means for administering a low concentration of oxygen.
