Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a 58-year-old client who has a low oxygen saturation. The nurse is reviewing the client's data to create a plan of care. Complete the diagram by drawing arrows to connect the condition and two parameters the nurse should monitor to assess the client's progress.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rationale for Correct Answer (
C): Low oxygen saturation is often indicative of respiratory issues, such as impaired gas exchange. Monitoring lung sounds and chest expansion are crucial in assessing respiratory function and oxygenation status. Abnormal lung sounds (e.g., crackles, wheezes) can indicate underlying lung pathology, while decreased chest expansion may suggest respiratory distress.

Summary of Incorrect

Choices:
A: Monitoring respiratory rate and heart rate is important in assessing oxygenation status, but they do not directly evaluate the underlying respiratory function, which is key in this scenario.
B: Blood pressure and temperature are not specific indicators of respiratory function or oxygenation status. While they provide valuable information, they are not primary parameters for assessing oxygen saturation.
D: Hemoglobin and hematocrit levels reflect the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity but do not directly assess respiratory function or oxygenation status in real-time.
