An oxygen blender is being used to deliver 40% oxygen through a jet nebulizer for humidification to a child. How should a respiratory therapist set the jet nebulizer in this situation? The jet nebulizer must be set to the 100% setting. The jet nebulizer must be set at the same FIO2 as the blender. Setting the jet nebulizer at a FIO2 of 0.40 or less is acceptable The jet nebulizer can be adjusted to an FIO2 setting greater than 0.70.

A physician has ordered an FIO2 of 0 A physician has ordered an FIO2 of 0.40 by oxyhood and blender for an infant. When analyzing the oxygen concentration, a respiratory therapist notes the FIO2 is 0.30, and the flowmeter is set at 10 L/min. The nebulizer’s entrainment port is set at 50% and the blender is set at an FIO2 of 0.40. To correct the problem, the therapist should: Increase the flowmeter to 12 L/min Set the blender FIO2 to 1.0 Replace the blender and nebulizer system Set the nebulizer’s entrainment port to 100%

A 2-year-old child is receiving oxygen by an aerosol tent A 2-year-old child is receiving oxygen by an aerosol tent. The respiratory therapist is unable to maintain a consistent FIO2 inside the canopy. The therapist should: Increase the oxygen flow Switch to a smaller canopy Decrease the coolant temperature Increase the aerosol output

An infant in an oxyhood is receiving 24% oxygen by a large volume nebulizer at a flow of 10 L/min. The infant is restless. The SpO2 is 97%. To clam the infant, a respiratory therapist should: Set the FIO2 to 0.28 Increase the flow to 12 L/min Use more connecting tubing Replace the nebulizer with a blender
