Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line

True or False?

A nasal cannula and face mask are the two most commonly used oxygen delivery systems.

back 15

True

front 16

True or False?

Oxygen administration can be hazardous because oxygen is highly combustible.

back 16

True

front 17

List the hazards of oxygen administration.

back 17

To high of an oxygen concentration may cause reversible tracheobronchitis

Oxygen is highly combustible

front 18

True or false

When blood pressure drops the heart speeds up in order to compensate for the drop in pressure. Therefore the pulse rate will be more rapid.

back 18

True
