Extract:

Client who has asthma.


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who has asthma. Which of the following areas should the nurse evaluate as the most reliable indicator of central cyanosis?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Oral mucosa. Central cyanosis is caused by decreased oxygen levels in the blood and is best assessed in mucous membranes closest to the heart, such as the oral mucosa. This area has a rich blood supply and is more sensitive to changes in oxygen saturation. Conjunctivae (choice
A) may show peripheral cyanosis, which is less reliable. Soles of the feet (choice
B) and ear lobes (choice
D) are not typical sites to assess for cyanosis. In summary, evaluating the oral mucosa is the most reliable indicator of central cyanosis due to its proximity to the heart and rich blood supply.
