Great video to teach you about the different types of masks:
This lady is a little more personable. Notice that the videos and myself have different numbers, this is why for the NCLEX if it is going to be a wrong answer, the choice will be way off.
Oxygen Therapy
A non -rebreather mask delivers the highest amount of 02 10 - 15 L/min the patient breaths on their own and usually uses an oxygen tank because, due to the higher rate of oxgen delivery, it would blow off the water attachment.
Partial rebreathing mask is used to deliver 8 - 10 L/min and should never total deflate. Deflating halfway is
correct.
Due to the risk of retaining C02, never use a simple mask for any client receiving less than 5 L/min of 02.
A nasal cannula is used to deliver low concentrations of oxygen. It can deliver from 24% to 40% oxygen at a flow rate of 0.26-1.58 gal (1-6 L) per minute.
A simple mask is used to deliver moderate to high concentrations of oxygen. It can deliver from 40% to 60% oxygen at a flow rate of 2.64-3.17 gal (10-12 L) per minute.
A partial rebreather mask is used to deliver high concentrations of oxygen. It can deliver 70% to 90% oxygen at a flow of1.58-3.96 gal (6-15 L) per minute.
A non-rebreather mask is used to deliver high flow oxygen. It can deliver 90% to 100% oxygen at a flow of 3.96 gal (15 L) per minute. A variable flow rate mask has interchangeable adaptors that may be set to deliver oxygen at 24%, 28%, 31%, 35%, 40%, or 50%.
It is also extremely important to know your respiratory sounds for the NCLEX.
