The nurse prepares to collect a anaerobic specimen from the patient's wound for C & S. After applying hand hygiene and gloves, the nurse aspirates 10 mL of exudate along with small air bubbles from deep within the wound bed. The nurse then attaches a needle to the syringe and injects the exudate into a carbon dioxide tube to be prepared for analysis at the lab. Hand hygiene and disposal of supplies occurs afterwards. Which step by the nurse is incorrect?
The nurse selected the wrong tube; a tube containing medium should have been used
The nurse aspirated too much exudate; the optimal aspiration amount is 2.5 - 5 mL
The nurse did not remove the air bubbles prior to injecting the exudate

A patient with a spinal cord injury at C4 requires the administration of oxygen at 4 L/min. Which method is best, and why?
Face tent, because FiO2 can be 100% which helps prevent hypoxia in the case of neurogenic shock
Mechanical ventilation, because respiratory impairment is likely
Partial non-rebreather mask, because the likelihood of carbon dioxide inspiration is low, promoting better oxygenation
BiPAP therapy, because it can maximize the use of the lungs by providing differing pressures for inspiration and expiration
The symptoms of hypoxia occur in a progressive fashion. Select the order that is correct in terms of hypoxia worsening. 1) Restlessness 2) Pallor 3) Tachycardia 4) Decreased LOC 5) Cyanosis
