The nurse is providing oxygen to two children, one to increase gas exchange and the other because of an obstructed airway. For which disorder would supplemental oxygen be used for something other than these two reasons?
A) Severe pneumonia
B) Bronchiolitis
C) Pneumothorax
D) Chronic lung disorder
C
Response:
In some cases of pneumothorax, administration of 100% oxygen hastens the reabsorption of air, but it is generally used for only a few hours. Children with severe pneumonia require supplemental oxygen to overcome an obstruction, while children with bronchiolitis and chronic lung disorders need oxygen to improve gas exchange.
