Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A pulse oximetry reading of 97 percent indicates that the patient is not hypoxemic, as normal oxygen saturation levels range between 95-100 percent. Therefore, option C is the correct answer choice. Options A, D, and E are within the normal range as well, but option C is the best choice as it falls closer to the middle of the normal range. Option B is below the normal range and would indicate hypoxemia.
