A nurse is assisting with discharge planning for a client who is prescribed home oxygen at 1 to 2 L/min.The nurse should ensure that the client has which of the following supplies upon discharge?

Choice A rationale:The client does not need an oxygen mask for a low flow rate of 1 to 2 L/min. Oxygen masks are typically used for higher flow rates and may not be comfortable or necessary for a client requiring such a low oxygen flow.Choice B rationale:A reservoir bag is not required for a client receiving low flow oxygen at 1 to 2 L/min. Reservoir bags are commonly used with oxygen masks at higher flow rates to ensure a consistent supply of oxygen during inhalation.Choice C rationale:Petroleum jelly is not a necessary supply for a client prescribed home oxygen at 1 to 2 L/min. Its use may not be recommended due to the risk of flammability in the presence of oxygen.Choice D rationale:The correct choice is D. The client should have a nasal cannula as a supply upon discharge. A nasal cannula is the appropriate delivery device for low flow oxygen therapy at 1 to 2 L/min. It is comfortable and allows for adequate oxygen supplementation for the client.
