The Answer Is:
A
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
The most appropriate therapy for carboxyhemoglobinemia, which is carbon monoxide poisoning, is the administration of 100% oxygen. This treatment helps to displace carbon monoxide from hemoglobin, allowing oxygen to bind to hemoglobin and be transported to tissues more effectively. High-flow oxygen can significantly reduce the half-life of carboxyhemoglobin, facilitating faster recovery.References: = CCRN Exam Handbook, page 30
