Which of the following is a disadvantage of using a face tent to administer oxygen to a client with facial trauma?
A) Delivers an inconsistent amount of oxygen
B) Creates a risk of suffocation
C) Dries nasal mucosa at a higher flow
D) Permits condensation to form in the tubing
A
Feedback:
When using a face tent to administer oxygen to a client with facial trauma, the nurse should remember that the amount of oxygen the client actually receives may be inconsistent with what is prescribed because of environmental losses. A partial rebreather mask creates a risk of suffocation. A nasal cannula dries the nasal mucosa at a higher flow. A venturi mask permits condensation to form in tubing, which diminishes the flow of oxygen.
