of the following vital signs are expected for the adult patient who has problems in
oxygenation?
Temperature
-pulse
-respirations
-BP
-pulse oximetry - CORRECT ANSWER A healthy 30-year old male arrives at the
clinic for a physical. The nurse is responsible for collecting his vital signs. Which of
the following can be delegated to a NAP?
-Blue probe electronic thermometer.
-Thermometer cover.
-Patient data recording sheet and a pen. - CORRECT ANSWER The nurse decides to
collect the patients temperature orally using an electric thermometer. Choose the
equipment to be used.
