Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is beneficial for clients with conditions that require enhanced oxygenation to promote healing or fight infection. This includes skin grafts, diabetic foot ulcers, and gangrene in the toes, as the increased oxygen supply can improve wound healing, enhance the body's ability to fight infection, and in the case of gangrene, can help to limit the spread of infection. Anthracosis (accumulation of carbon in the lungs) and osteoarthritis do not typically benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy, as these conditions are not primarily related to issues that can be improved by increased oxygen levels in the blood.
