While caring for a patient undergoing suctioning, the nurse guides the catheter along the naris floor to avoid the turbinates. which outcome observed by the nurse supports the intervention?

There are choices for this question namely:

1 Pulse oximetry of 90%
2 Body temperature of 99° F
3 Heart rate of 40 bpm
4 Respiratory rate of 20 breaths per minute

The correct answer is "heart rate of 40 bpm". A heart rate of 40 bpm is classified as bradycardia. Bradycardia is defined as a slow heart rate below 60 bpm. A heart rate below 50 bpm is more than alarming to the health practitioner and suctioning should be stopped to give way for immediate intervention. A oxygen saturation of 90%, while below normal range of 95%-100%, is still considered safe. A body temperature of 99 degrees F and a respiratory rate of 20 breaths per minute is considered normal.
