Pleural effusion

[bdoss2006]

Should all pleural effusion patients receive supplemental oxygen, or just if they are hypoxic?

That's a great question... you should ask your instructor or read your text book...

That's an excellent question. While I know what I might do, my scope of practice is very highly likely different from what yours is going to be. Ask your instructor and/or read your textbook. We're not going to answer your question for you. This is stuff you should be getting in class or through materials provided to you or assigned to you in class.

On that note, I'm closing this, and related threads.
