The patient's pulse oximeter shows a reading of 84% on room air. the initial action is to apply oxygen. the correct answer is option(c).
The instrument known as a pulse oximeter is often worn on a fingertip. It calculates the pulse rate and blood oxygen saturation using laser beams. The amount of oxygen carried by the blood is revealed by oxygen saturation. An electronic gadget that attaches to a patient's finger and measures heart rate and red blood cell oxygen saturation is helpful in evaluating individuals with lung illness.
Oxygen saturation of 95% or more is considered normal. 90% of patients with sleep apnea or chronic lung illness may have normal levels. The "SpO2" value on a pulse oximeter displays the blood's oxygen content as a percentage. Call your healthcare practitioner if the SpO2 level you take at home is less than 95%.
