lower O2 input
large min ventilation
Which of the following oxygen delivery modalities could provide the highest FIO2 in an emergency
situation ?
a. simple mask
b. nasal cannula
c. partial rebreather
d. non rebreather - ✔✔-d. Non rebreather
Most concentrated FIO2 because of the one way valves that allow the exhalation of CO2 but does not let
room air into the mask preventing O2 dilution
Which medical gas should be administered during surgery to prevent the patient from becoming hypoxic
?
a. compressed ait
b. nitric oxide
c. carbon dioxide
d. helium
e. oxygen - ✔✔-e. Oxygen
hypoxic = inadequate supply of oxygen

I. it is used in the connection between regulators and humidifiers
II. it is used at the gas outlets between blenders and ventilators
IV. it is a safety system that used to connect a regulator to H cylinder
V. it uses a yoke with an arrangement of pins that correspond to specific gas mixtures
a. I & II only
b. II only
c. III & IV
d. II & IV only - ✔✔-a. I & II only
As gas temperature increases, its capacity to hold water will?
a. increase
b. remain unchanged
c. decrease
d. may both increase and decrease - ✔✔-a. Increase
When discussing the physical properties of oxygen; which of the following statements are true when it is
used as a medical gas ?
I. it is colorless as a gas and light blue as a liquid
II. it is much lighter than room air
III. it is classified as flammable
IV. some combustible such as some oils and greases will burn with nearly explosive force in its presence
V. it is responsible for the process of oxidation and the formation of oxidation and the formation of
oxidants on metal elements
a. I, II, & V only
b. I, II, & III only
c. II, IV, & V only
d. I, IV, & V only - ✔✔-d. I, IV, & V only
it is colorless as gas and light blue as a liquid
some combustive such as some old and greases will burn with nearly explosive force in it presence.
It is responsible for the process of oxidation and the formation of oxidation
The total water content in a given gas when compared with the capacity for a water content in the given
gas at a given temperature known as:
a. relative humidity
b. humidity deficit
c. body humidity
d. absolute humidity - ✔✔-a. Relative humidity
A COPD patient is being transported to x-ray with an E-cylinder and is receiving oxygen via nasal cannula
at 2 Lpm. The pressure reading in the tank is 1600 psi. how long will the cylinder last:
a. 3.37 hours
b. none of the above
c. 165 min
d. 240 min - ✔✔-a. 3.73 hours
1600 * 0.28 / 2 = 3.73
An individual experiences altitude sickness after landing at Omagodo A'Bandito Airport (4,334 meters
above sea level) which of the following offers the best explanation to why this occurred?
a. the barometric pressure is higher than a sea level
b. there is lead oxygen in the atmosphere there than at sea level
c. there is more CO2 in the atmosphere there than at sea level
d. the barometric pressure is lower than at sea level - ✔✔-d. the barometric pressure is lower than at
sea level
sea level high = low barometric pressure
sea level low = high barometric pressure
The physician on the oncology floor has requested that you administer an 80% helium and 20% oxygen

you NOT need to administer this therapy?
a. oxygen analyzer
b. non rebreather mask
c. oxygen flow meter
d. venturi mask - ✔✔-d. Venturi mask
because you don't need fixed FIO2
How would you prevent a patient with chronic hypercabia from developing oxygen induced
hypoventilation ?
a. ambulate patient as quickly as possible. Have patient breath fast and deep
b. titrate FIO2 to highest possible SpO2
c. Maintain levels of PaO2 in the 95-99 mmHg range
d. limit O2 to minimum necessary with target SpO2 of 88% -92% - ✔✔-d. limit O2 to minimum necessary
with target SpO2 of 88% - 92%
