A nurse is preparing to administer oxygen to a client who has heart failure and is having severe difficulty breathing. Which of the following oxygen delivery equipment should the nurse select to provide the highest concentration of oxygen to the client?

A. "Tell me what the afterlife means to you." Correct. This response demonstrates active listening and encourages the client to share their beliefs and feelings about the afterlife, providing the client with an opportunity for spiritual expression and understanding.
B. "You should discuss the afterlife with your priest." While discussing spiritual matters with a religious leader can be valuable, this response does not directly address the client's request for
the nurse to discuss the afterlife with them.
C. "Keep praying. A miracle could happen." This response may not fully address the client's need to discuss their beliefs about the afterlife. It focuses on hope but does not actively engage in the client's spiritual conversation.
D. "Maybe your condition will lead you closer to God." While offering comfort, this response may not meet the client's request to discuss the afterlife directly.

A. Restrict the client's visitors to the immediate family: While tuberculosis is a communicable disease, restricting visitors to the immediate family is not a standard precautionary measure. Visitors should be educated about infection control measures and individuals with active tuberculosis
may need to wear masks in certain situations.
B. Assign the client to a negative pressure airflow room: Correct. Clients with active tuberculosis should be placed in a negative pressure airflow room to prevent the spread of infectious airborne particles to other areas of the facility. Negative pressure ensures that air from the room does not flow to other parts of the facility.
C. Discard personal protective equipment outside the client's room: Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be removed and discarded according to facility policy, which often includes removing PPE inside the client's room and properly disposing of it afterward. The nurse should follow standard precautions for infection control.
D. Have the client wear a HEPA mask during transportation throughout the facility: While wearing a HEPA mask may be necessary for clients with tuberculosis, it is not related to the initial admission process. Clients with active tuberculosis may be asked to wear a HEPA mask during transportation when they need to leave their negative pressure room.
