The nurse assesses a client who is receiving oxygen via a partial rebreather mask. Which assessment finding does the nurse intervene to correct?
a. The bag is two thirds inflated during inhalation.
b. The client's pulse oximetry reading is 93%.
c. The oxygen flow rate is 2 L/min.
d. The arterial oxygen level is 90%.
C
Flow rate should be 6 to 11 L/min. A flow rate of 2 L/min will not adequately inflate the bag. A bag that is two thirds inflated is desired. A pulse oximetry reading of 93% and higher is adequate, as is an arterial oxygenation of 90%.
