B - Sitting upright. Rationale: The client who is short of breath will experience greatest comfort sitting in an upright position. This position will also allow for comprehensive auscultation of all lung fields. Fluid or mucus A - Assess the pulse oximeter probe site to ensure an accurate reading. Rationale: If the client's clinical presentation does not align with collected metrics, it is important to confirm the metric before implementing additional action.
Kellea or Angela - I think these answers and how they are "numbered" is very confusing and don't seem necessary to me. There is only 1 Learning Activity in Ch. 10, and the answers are self-contained. Meaning it's all multiple choice or fill in the blank. There are 12 questions to the activity. The way this is numbered and lettered doesn't sync with the actual Activity. Can we remove this? Or if we want to keep it, I'll try to figure out a better way to identify this into to the activities. Thank you.
