Oxygen can be titrated as part of a rehab session if the order is written for target ______.

• A. FiO2
• B. SpO2
• C. Heart rate
• D. Respiratory rate

Answer: (B)

Oxygen titration during rehab is guided by maintaining a target oxygen saturation, as measured by pulse oximetry. The order specifies a target SpO2 to keep during activity, and you adjust the amount of oxygen to hold that level steady. This approach directly ensures adequate tissue oxygen delivery while avoiding unnecessary excess oxygen. FiO2 is the actual fraction of inspired oxygen being delivered, and while you can adjust it, rehab orders typically define the desired SpO2 rather than a fixed FiO2. Heart rate and respiratory rate reflect how the body is responding to activity, but they aren’t the explicit targets used to titrate oxygen in standard orders.
