Which are safety practices that are common in healthcare facilities? Check all that apply.
washing hands
requiring patients to wait in designated areas
reading warning signs
wearing personal protective equipment

All of these listed would be common safety practices that are used in healthcare facilities. Washing hands is a required things for all healthcare workers. Patients are required, normally, to wait in designated areas, ie. waiting rooms. Reading warning signs might not be used in every healthcare facility but I would assume that it is used in most healthcare facilities. Lastly, wearing personal protective equipment is a requirement for every healthcare facility that I can think of, ie. gloves, masks, and other things that are used during surgeries and such. I hope this helps you!

20 times a minute is usually the average respritory rate of an adult. additionally the patient is breathing on his own, is clearly maintaining his airway, and is intaking a sufficient amount of air. you shouldn't use a bag valve mask, cpap, or other form of positive pressure ventilation, unless the patient has lost control of his airway, and is not breathing (apneic) or has rapid breathing or slow and shallow respirations. this patient would most likely and should be put on an non-rebreather mask or nrb attached to 100% high flow oxygen at 15 l/min. don't use a nasal cannula, as the amount of oxygen it provides is limited with a rate of 6 l/min.
