When physically assessing the quality of the client's oxygenation, the nurse should monitor the client's respiratory rate, check the symmetry of the client's chest, and observe the breathing pattern and effort. The amount of oxygen administered and the devices used to deliver oxygen are important to note but are not specifically related to assessing the quality of the client's oxygenation.
