What flow rate can deliver a 80-100% oxygen concentration when using a non-rebreather mask?

  1. 8-10 LPM
  2. 10-15 LPM
  3. 12-15 LPM
  4. 15-20 LPM
Explanation

Answer: B - The flow rate of 10-15 LPM can deliver a 80-100% oxygen concentration when using a non-rebreather mask. When the patient inhales, 100% of oxygen contained in the reservoir is drawn into the mask and the patient’s respiratory passageways. The non-rebreather mask delivers the highest concentration of oxygen.
