Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has hypoxemia for a late sign. Which finding should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Bradycardia. In hypoxemia, the body compensates initially with tachycardia to increase oxygen delivery. However, as hypoxemia worsens and tissues become severely deprived of oxygen, the body's response shifts to bradycardia due to vagal stimulation. This is a late sign of severe hypoxemia. Hypertension (
A) would not be expected as hypoxemia often leads to hypotension. Tachycardia (
B) is an early sign of hypoxemia. Pallor (
C) may be present but is not a specific late sign of hypoxemia.
