You have identified that a patient is breathing adequately on his own. However, you believe he may benefit from supplemental oxygen. Describe what factors you would consider when choosing an
oxygen-delivery device. Why might you choose a nonrebreather mask over a nasal
cannula?

Answer:

Standard oxygen therapy delivered through a nasal cannula or another device, such as a non-rebreather mask (NRBM), delivers cold (not warmed) and dry (not humidified) gas. This cold, dry gas can lead to airway inflammation, increase airway resistance, and impair mucociliary function, possibly impairing secretion clearance .

And for 7 so it can procect yourself
