Question 14 of 18

Correct!

The correct protocol to follow when completing work on a patient after utilizing nitrous oxide is to:

turn off the nitrous oxide
increase the oxygen to maintain the tidal volume (for example, increase it to 6 liters)
allow the patient to breathe 100% oxygen for the following specified times: for every 15 minutes on nitrous oxide, the patient is to receive 5 minutes of 100% oxygen - In this instance, your patient had nitrous oxide-oxide analgesia 30 minutes, therefore he would need 100% oxygen for 10 minutes.
