Question 1 of 5

Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication that the treatment plan is effective? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: C,D,E

Rationale: The correct answers are C, D, and E.
C: Oxygen saturation indicates how well the patient is oxygenating. An increase in oxygen saturation signifies improved oxygen levels, indicating treatment effectiveness.
D: Clear breath sounds in bilateral bases suggest proper airflow in the lungs, indicating treatment success.
E: A decrease in respiratory rate indicates that the patient is breathing more comfortably due to treatment efficacy.
Incorrect choices:
A: Nasal flaring and B: Retractions are signs of respiratory distress and would suggest that the treatment plan is not effective.
F: Heart rate alone does not directly indicate respiratory treatment effectiveness.
In summary, the correct choices directly reflect improvements in oxygenation, lung function, and respiratory effort, while the incorrect choices signify respiratory distress or are not specific indicators of respiratory treatment effectiveness.
