Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clients with shortness of breath and decreased oxygen saturation must be monitored closely.Minimal involvement in activities is required if the client is severely short of breath.The nurse should continue to assess the client and can increase involvement in activities if shortness of breath subsides.The Rapid Response Team is not required.Clustering or spacing of activities does nothing to decrease the client's involvement,which is the cause of shortness of breath.
