A) Partial-rebreathing mask
B) Nonrebreathing mask
C) Venturi mask
D) Simple mask
C
Feedback:
Of all the facial devices, the high-flow Venturi mask provides the most reliable and consistent oxygen enrichment. This mask can be identified by the presence of a hard plastic adapter, with large windows on the adapter's sides. Because the Venturi mask can provide consistent, low levels of supplemental oxygen, it is often used for a client with COPD.
