If a patient is currently on a partial rebreather facemask but would benefit from a higher FIO2, which oxygen device would you recommend?
  1. Nasal cannula at 6 L/min
  2. Nasal catheter
  3. Simple face mask
  4. Non-rebreather mask
Explanation
Answer: D-To achieve a higher FIO2, the therapist should place the patient on a non-rebreather mask.

The non-rebreather delivers the highest FIO2 in the low flow oxygen device category.
The partial rebreather can deliver an FIO2 of up to 60%. A non-rebreather will deliver an FIO2 of up to 100%.
