Homework Answers
The patient with emphysema and hypercapnia(Increases level of Carbon dioxide in the blood) who is receiving oxygen by nasal cannula at 8 L/min now has a respiratory rate of 8. A nurse should Change the nasal cannula to a mask.
Explanation - Due to CO2 retention there may be respiratory acidosis which causing Bradypnea. In this case, we can not give oxygen in nasal cannula because in nasal cannula patients gets very low fractions of oxygen and 8 L /min in nasal canula is the waste of oxygen. In mask, we can increase the fraction of inspired oxygen and can reduce some amount of hypoxia.
Answer - Change the nasal cannula to a mask
