Question 5 of 5
A client with the diagnosis of pneumonia experiences dyspnea when engaging activities. Which action should the nurse implement to help address client safety?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Monitoring vital signs and oxygen saturation during activity ensures the nurse can detect early signs of respiratory distress or hypoxia, promoting client safety. Encouraging deep, rapid breathing may exacerbate dyspnea and is not safe. Providing environmental stimulation is unrelated to respiratory safety. Scheduling activities before respiratory medications or treatments could worsen dyspnea, as these interventions improve breathing capacity.
