Explanation
Answer: b. Monitoring oxygen saturation levels Explanation:
Monitoring the client's oxygen saturation levels using a pulse oximeter is crucial to assess the effectiveness of oxygen therapy and ensure the client's oxygen needs are being met adequately.
Incorrect choices:
a. Assessing the client's respiratory rate is important but does not directly measure the adequacy of oxygen therapy.
c. Evaluating the client's level of dyspnea provides subjective information but does not quantify the client's oxygenation status.
d. Adjusting the oxygen flow rate as needed is a valid action, but monitoring oxygen saturation levels is essential to guide the adjustment accurately.
