    Select All That Apply

    Patient Data Exhibits To start the client on oxygen as prescribed, which item(s) should the nurse collect from the supply room? Select all that apply.

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Tape: While tape might be useful for securing the nasal cannula, it is not specifically required for starting oxygen therapy. B. Flowmeter: A flowmeter is necessary to regulate and measure the flow rate of the oxygen being delivered to the client. C. Lamb's wool: This is not related to oxygen therapy; it is used for other purposes like padding. D. Nasal cannula: This is the device prescribed for delivering supplemental oxygen at 3 L/minute. E. Sterile water: Sterile water is not typically required for starting oxygen therapy but may be used with certain humidification systems. F. Humidifier bottle: When providing oxygen at higher flow rates, a humidifier bottle may be needed to prevent dryness of the nasal passages. G. Suction cannister: This is used for suctioning and is not needed for administering oxygen.
