D) Venturi mask
C
Feedback:
The nurse should use a nasal cannula to administer oxygen when cleaning the opening and the tube of the transtracheal catheter. A transtracheal catheter, which is a hollow tube inserted within the trachea to deliver oxygen, is used to administer oxygen to a client who requires long-term oxygen therapy. During the cleaning of the catheter, the client takes in oxygen through a nasal cannula. The nurse may not use a simple mask, face tent, or a venturi mask to administer oxygen to the client.
