problem mainly in the care of whom?

relief is popping off. Which of the following actions would be most appropriate
in this situation?

A.Check and tighten all connections.

B.Replace the humidifier with a new one.
C.Look for crimped or twisted delivery tubing.
D.Decrease the flow rate to 2 L/min.

10.) Specific clinical objectives of oxygen (O2) therapy include which of the
following?
