Feedback A Nasal discharge indicates that the child has a respiratory condition but does not mean the child needs immediate attention. B A productive cough is not a finding that indicates that the child requires immediate attention. C An oxygen saturation of 95 is a normal finding. D One of the initial observations for triage is respiratory rate and effort. Grunting is a sign of hypoxemia and represents the body's attempt to improve oxygenation by generating positive end-expiratory pressure. |
