1 answered

#14

Which of the following statements regarding high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy is true?

It is contraindicated in patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure

It delivers a fixed FiO2 regardless of the patient's breathing pattern

It provides positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) to the airway

It is primarily used for short-term oxygen therapy

#15

What is the recommended action if a patient receiving oxygen therapy develops signs of oxygen toxicity?

Decrease the oxygen flow rate

Switch to a lower FiO2 delivery device

Administer bronchodilators

Increase the respiratory rate
