Answer: After the oxygen delivery device has been reapplied on completion of the procedure, the patient's pulse oximetry falls to 88%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Rationale: This decline in peripheral blood oxygen saturation must be reported. It represents a decline in the patient's condition following a procedure that should have improved his or her SpO2 reading. Discomfort need not be reported. Symptoms of coughing and sore throat do not require immediate reporting. This change in heart rate is anticipated with the procedure. Taken by itself, it does not require reporting.
