inspecting skin around the pinna for pressure injury.

humidifying the oxygen before it is delivered to the client.

providing oral hygiene whenever necessary.

attaching a flow meter to the wall outlet.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A. Inspecting skin around the pinna for pressure injury is not directly related to adjusting oxygen flow rates.
