Question 1 of 5
A nurse is obtaining an oxygen saturation on a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Choose a finger with a capillary refill less than 2 sec. This is important because a capillary refill time longer than 2 seconds may indicate poor circulation, which can affect the accuracy of the oxygen saturation reading. It ensures proper blood flow to the finger, leading to a more reliable measurement. Waiting 10 seconds before obtaining the reading (
A) is unnecessary and may delay timely intervention. Placing the sensor probe on the same extremity as an electronic blood pressure cuff (
B) can interfere with accurate readings. Relocating the sensor every 8 hours (
C) is not necessary for routine monitoring and may disrupt continuous monitoring.
