A nurse is assessing a client's oxygen saturation level using a pulse oximeter. Which oxygen saturation level indicates the need for immediate intervention?
Oxygen saturation levels of 95% are within the normal range and do not require immediate intervention.
Oxygen saturation levels of 92% are relatively low but may not require immediate intervention depending on the client's clinical condition.
Oxygen saturation levels of 89% indicate significant hypoxemia and require intervention, but immediate intervention is required at a level of 86%.
An oxygen saturation level of 86% indicates severe hypoxemia and requires immediate intervention to ensure adequate oxygenation.
Answer: d. 86%
Explanation: An oxygen saturation level of 86% indicates severe hypoxemia and requires immediate intervention to ensure adequate oxygenation.
a. Oxygen saturation levels of 95% are within the normal range and do not require immediate intervention.
b. Oxygen saturation levels of 92% are relatively low but may not require immediate intervention depending on the client's clinical condition.
c. Oxygen saturation levels of 89% indicate significant hypoxemia and require intervention, but immediate intervention is required at a level of 86%.
