Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assessing the patient's lips and notes a bluish tinge. This finding would indicate that the patient may be experiencing which problem?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hypoxia is a medical condition characterized by a lack of oxygen in the body's tissues, which can occur due to a variety of reasons, such as respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, or other serious medical conditions. Cyanosis occurs when the oxygen saturation level in the blood falls below 85%, which causes a bluish color to appear on the skin, especially on the lips and fingertips.
Therefore, if a nurse observes cyanosis in a patient's lips, it is a significant sign of hypoxia, and the patient requires immediate medical attention.
