First off, one of these:
First, no, this adapter won't work. It's North America to Continental Europe. We use a three prong adapter in the UK. Further, a "universal" adapter to UK costs like £5 in any hardware/discount shop.
But since you want to buy a nice gift, you want something more like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Ceptics-Hong-Kong-Travel-Adapter/dp/B01MZD5T3E/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=US+to+UK&qid=1558403633&s=hi&sr=1-5

I hope your friend has a lovely trip here!
Read the label on your power supply.
If it says something like 110v-220v or 100v-230v or something similar, all you need is an adapter plug to fit your current cord into the new foreign wall socket.
Most modern electronics including CPAP machines are just as happy on 100v as 220v. Nothing is going to burn out and you don't need a "converter" (a device to convert 110 -> 220 or 200 -> 100) you just need an adapter so your plug fits the wall socket.
A converter actually changes 110 to 220 or 220 to 110. You do not need one and in fact shouldn't use one if your CPAP power supply is rated for the voltage you'll be using.
An adapter does nothing but make the plug fit the wall. This is what you actually need. Like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZD5T3E
Also if you regularly travel between the same places or have something against adapters, you can actually buy the right power cord for your power supply for each country, however it's usually a little more expensive than the adapter.
Adapters will be needed, you can pick them up here although it will probably be cheaper if you buy them online before you travel, such as on amazon here. You'll just need to check the electronics you're wanting to plug in will accept 240V input. Most cell phones and cameras are fine with that but better safe than sorry.
Yeah, all you need is something like this. Just needs to go from US to UK style plug. The Nintendo power supply already handles the proper voltage and frequency differences
