When choosing an oxygen delivery system, it is important to consider the client's respiratory needs, the client's comfort, and the client's stage of development. Each will play a role in the oxygen delivery system that is chosen. The client's heart rate and tidal volume are not items that are specifically taken into consideration when choosing an oxygen delivery system.
