Question

the nurse is reviewing the chart of a client receiving oxygen therapy. the nurse would question which supplemental oxygen prescription if written by the health care practitioner?

Answer 1

It is important for the nurse to verify any unclear or inappropriate orders

Step-by-step explanation:

If the healthcare practitioner prescribed a high flow rate of oxygen without specifying the type of oxygen delivery system to use or did not indicate how frequently to monitor the client's oxygen saturation levels, the nurse would question the prescription. Similarly, if the prescribed oxygen delivery system is not appropriate for the client's condition or the client's oxygen saturation levels are above the target range, the nurse would also question the prescription.

It is important for the nurse to verify any unclear or inappropriate orders with the healthcare practitioner to ensure that the client receives safe and effective oxygen therapy.
