The nursing instructor asks students how they would assess the fifth vital sign. Which student would be correct? I would:
 
  1) Have the client rate her pain on a scale of 0 to 10.
  2) Ask the client when she had her last bowel movement.
  3) Take the client's pulse oximetry reading.
  4) Interview the client about history of tobacco use.

Question 2

A client who has been hospitalized for an infection states, The nursing assistant told me my vital signs are all within normal limits; that means I'm cured. The nurse's best response would be:
 
  1) Your vital signs confirm that your infection is resolved; how do you feel?
  2) I'll let your health care provider know so you can be discharged.
  3) Your vital signs are stable, but there are other things to assess.
  4) We still need to keep monitoring your temperature for a while.
