The stethoscope is the primary tool used for assessing the cardiorespiratory system. It allows the nurse to listen to heart and lung sounds, as well as assess blood pressure. Percussion hammer is used for assessing reflexes, the nasal speculum is used for assessing nasal passages and lubricant is used as a facilitator but not a tool for cardiorespiratory assessment.
