Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A nonrebreather mask can deliver the highest concentration of oxygen, up to 100%, as it has a one-way valve that prevents the patient from inhaling any room air. The other options, including the face mask, nasal cannula, and partial rebreather mask, cannot deliver the same concentration of oxygen as they all allow room air to mix in with the oxygen being delivered.
