Calculate the humidity deficit for a person breathing air with an absolute humidity (content) of 23 mg H2O/L.

The relative humidity is 40%, and the capacity is 32 mg H2O/L.  What is the content (absolute humidity) of this gas?

The respiratory therapist administers a 35% aerosol mask to a patient. Several hours later, an oxygen analyzer is placed within the tubing and is reading 60%, but the large volume nebulizer setting remains at 35%. What action could be taken to fix this issue?

Inhale deeply through the nose.IV. Use a mouthpiece instead of a mask.V.  Hold the breath in for about 10 seconds before exhaling every few breaths.
