A person’s oxygen saturation is 89% and the pulse displayed on the pulse oximeter is aligned with the radial pulse. The first assessment starts with the respiratory system including a subjective assessment of the client’s breathing and whether he/she is having difficulty breathing.

The radial pulse does not coincide with the pulse displayed on the oximeter. Document the findings in the client’s chart The physician asks for an oxygen saturation report on a client who has peripheral limb tremors. What is the best location to place the probe? A person’s oxygen saturation is 89% and the pulse displayed on the pulse oximeter is aligned with the radial pulse. Raise up the head of the client’s bed

Nail polish can affect accuracy, so healthcare providers remove nail polish when pulse oximetry is measured on the fingers. It is also important to note that healthcare providers need to ensure the radial pulse aligns with the pulse displayed on the pulse oximeter.

For practice, we have made this clip 30 seconds so you will need to multiply it by two to report it as beats per minute (but remember, the most accurate measurement is to count the apical pulse for one minute).
