Correct Answer : A,C,D,E,G
Improvement in blood pressure would suggest better cardiovascular stability
A stable or decreased respiratory rate would indicate improved respiratory function and potentially reduced chest tightness.
An increase in oxygen saturation levels would indicate improved respiratory function and cardiovascular status.
A decrease in pain level would indicate improvement in the chest tightness and radiating pain experienced by the client.
A decrease in heart rate may indicate improved cardiovascular function and reduced stress on the heart.
Urinary output and echocardiogram results are not typically immediate indicators of improvement in the client's condition following an episode of chest tightness and radiating pain.
