Administering oxygen by nasal cannula Quizlet
|
respiratory rate and effort Prior to administering oxygen to a client, the nurse should make an assessment of the client's respiratory status, including respiratory rate, effort, and lung sounds. The nurse would note any signs of respiratory distress, such as tachypnea, nasal flaring, use of accessory muscles, or dyspnea. The nurse should also assess the client's oxygen saturation to provide a baseline for evaluating the effectiveness of oxygen therapy. It is not necessary to assess blood pressure or pulse, apical heart rate or rhythm, or skin alterations and edema prior to administering oxygen via a nasal cannula, although these may need assessment after the nasal cannula is applied.
