The client’s vital signs, oxygen saturation, and respiratory status.

This is because the admission nursing assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of the client’s physical, mental, emotional, and social status, as well as their current health problems and needs.

The admission assessment provides baseline data for comparison and planning of care. The client’s vital signs, oxygen saturation, and respiratory status are essential components of the admission assessment for a client who has pneumonia, as they reflect the severity of the infection and the risk of complications.

Choice B is wrong because the client’s medical history, allergies, and current medications are part of the health history interview, which is a component of the admission assessment but not the entire documentation. Choice C is wrong because the client’s nursing diagnosis, goals, and expected outcomes are part of the planning and implementation phases of the nursing process, which come after the assessment phase. Choice D is wrong because the client’s family contacts, insurance information, and advance directives are part of the administrative data collection, which is not directly related to the client’s health status or nursing care.

Normal ranges for vital signs vary depending on age, gender, and health conditions, but generally they are as follows:.

• Temperature: 36.5°C to 37.5°C (97.7°F to 99.5°F).

• Pulse: 60 to 100 beats per minute.

• Respirations: 12 to 20 breaths per minute.

• Blood pressure: less than 120/80 mm Hg.

• Oxygen saturation: 95% to 100%.
