ANSWERS :

1. B. Oxygen Therapy

Oxygen therapy is the provision of therapeutic oxygen is required

whenever hypoxemia either from wall oulet or cylinder tanks of
oxygen.
2. c. Oxygen regulator

Oxygen regulator is used to release oxygen from cylinders safely at

desired rate.
3. d. Pressure gauge

Pressure gauge is used to determine the presuure or amount of

oxygen that is available in the cylinder tank.
4. d. b and c

The 2 common types of oxygen sources are wall socket which has
oxygen delivery pipes in some hospitals and also the cylinder tanks
which are the most common source of oxygen.
5. C. Flow rate meter

Flow rate meter indicates # of liters per minute of O2 being

released from the oxygen tank.
6. a. Monkey wrench

Monkey wrench is used in setting up oxygen tanks in connecting the

o2 regulator to the cylinder tanks.
7. b. Fire precaution

Oxygen is highly combustible element, it is flammable so standard

fire precaution are properly observed while having o2 therapy like
no smoking signs and keeping away from electrical appliances
which could cause sparks that can aggravate to fire.
8. C Humidifier

Oxygen can cause drying of mucus membranes, so humidifier is

used to humidify oxygen before entering the patients mucus to
prevent drying episodes.
9. c. Nasal cannula

Cannula is a disposable plastic device with two protruding prongs

for insertion into the nostrils it is used in delivering low rate of
oxygen to patients in need of oxygen therapy
10 . A. Close the main valve

Closing the main valve is important to prevent sudden rush of

oxygen when disassembling oxygen regulator from the tank.
