Practice Question
A nurse in an outpatient surgical center is assisting in the care of a client.
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Oxygen saturation
Rationale:
🔷 Oxygen saturation decreased to 92%, indicating potential hypoxia or respiratory compromise
🔷 PO intake before surgery violates NPO guidelines, increasing aspiration risk
🔷 Blood pressure of 158/96 mm Hg is elevated and may cause perioperative complications
🔷 WBC count of 9,800 is near upper normal but not critical; however, paired with elevated vitals, may suggest inflammatory response
🔷 Platelet count of 140,000 is below normal, increasing the risk of bleeding during surgery
