A client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has an oxygen order. Which oxygen flow is generally most appropriate?
a.10 L/min by simple mask
b.15 L/min by nonrebreather
c.8 L/min by nasal cannula
d.2 L/min by nasal cannula
Explicación
Clients with COPD typically receive low-flow oxygen, such as 2 L/min, to maintain adequate oxygenation without suppressing respiratory drive. High flow rates may be used only in emergencies with close monitoring. Titrating to target saturation is important.
