    SKILL 14-3
    Needs Practice Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula
    Satisfactory
    Excellent

    Goal:The patient exhibits an oxygen saturation level within


    acceptable parameters. Comments

    1. Bring necessary equipment to the bedside stand or overbed


    table.
    2. Perform hand hygiene and put on PPE, if indicated.
    3. Identify the patient.
    4. Close curtains around bed and close the door to the room,
    if possible.
    5. Explain what you are going to do and the reason for doing
    it to the patient. Review safety precautions necessary when
    oxygen is in use. Place “No Smoking” signs in appropriate
    areas.
    6. Connect nasal cannula to oxygen setup with humidification,
    if one is in use. Adjust flow rate as ordered. Check that oxy-
    gen is flowing out of prongs.
    7. Place prongs in patient’s nostrils. Place tubing over and
    behind each ear with adjuster comfortably under chin.
    Alternately, the tubing may be placed around the patient’s
    head, with the adjuster at the back or base of the head.
    Place gauze pads at ear beneath the tubing, as necessary.
    8. Adjust the fit of the cannula, as necessary. Tubing should
    be snug but not tight against the skin.
    9. Encourage patient to breathe through the nose, with the
    mouth closed.
    10. Reassess patient’s respiratory status, including respiratory
    rate, effort, and lung sounds. Note any signs of respiratory
    distress, such as tachypnea, nasal flaring, use of accessory
    muscles, or dyspnea.
    11. Remove PPE, if used. Perform hand hygiene.
    12. Put on clean gloves. Remove and clean the cannula and
    assess nares at least every 8 hours, or according to agency
    recommendations. Check nares for evidence of irritation or
    bleeding.

    oxygen is in use. Place “No Smoking” signs in appropriate
    areas.
    6. Attach face mask to oxygen source (with humidification, if
    appropriate, for the specific mask). Start the flow of oxygen
    at the specified rate. For a mask with a reservoir, be sure to
    allow oxygen to fill the bag before proceeding to the next
    step.
    7. Position face mask over the patient’s nose and mouth.
    Adjust the elastic strap so that the mask fits snugly but
    comfortably on the face. Adjust the flow rate to the
    prescribed rate.
    8. If the patient reports irritation or redness is noted, use
    gauze pads under the elastic strap at pressure points to
    reduce irritation to ears and scalp.
    9. Reassess patient’s respiratory status, including respiratory
    rate, effort, and lung sounds. Note any signs of respiratory
    distress, such as tachypnea, nasal flaring, use of accessory
    muscles, or dyspnea.
    10. Remove PPE, if used. Perform hand hygiene.
    11.Remove the mask and dry the skin every 2 to 3 hours if
    the oxygen is running continuously. Do not use powder
    around the mask.
