Recognizing cues (assessment) involves the gathering of cues (information) from the patient
9z 9z 9z 9z 9z 9z 9z 9z 9z 9z 9z 9z
about their health and lifestyle practices, which are important facts that aid the nurse in making

hypoxia. The patient has been admitted for increased oxygen needs above a baseline of 2 L/min.
9z 9z 9z 9z 9z 9z 9z 9z 9z 9z 9z 9z 9z 9z 9z 9z

>95% on room air at the time of discharge from the hospital.” What is wrong with this goal?
