When caring for a client receiving oxygen therapy, the nurse identifies condensation in the oxygen tubing. What action should the nurse take?
- A. Increase the oxygen flow rate to prevent condensation
- B. Disconnect the tubing and drain the condensation
- C. Replace the oxygen tubing with a new one immediately
- D. Place a heat-moisture exchanger (HME) on the oxygen tubing
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Disconnecting and draining condensation (B) resolves impedance in oxygen flow from water buildup, maintaining effective delivery. Increasing flow (A) doesn't address it. Replacing tubing (C) is unnecessary if drained. HME (D) is for humidification, not condensation. Draining, per respiratory care, ensures uninterrupted therapy.

Which psychological effect is commonly observed in patients experiencing immobility?
- A. Increased motivation
- B. Decreased risk of depression
- C. Increased sense of independence
- D. Increased risk of anxiety and depression
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Immobility often increases anxiety and depression risk, as patients face mobility loss, dependence, and isolation, fostering psychological distress. Motivation and independence typically wane with restricted activity, while depression risk rises, not falls, due to these constraints. Nurses address this through emotional support and engagement, understanding that mental health declines when physical freedom is curtailed. This effect highlights the need for holistic care, blending physical interventions with psychological support to mitigate the emotional toll of immobility on patients.
