Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pulse oximeter is a non-invasive device used to measure the oxygen saturation level in the blood. It does not deliver any fluids or medications to the patient, so if it becomes kinked or pulled, it will not harm the patient directly. The other options (arterial line, catheter, and intravenous line) are all invasive and can deliver fluids or medications directly into the bloodstream, so if they become kinked or pulled, it can potentially harm the patient.
