ANS: D
Cyanosis may indicate a compromised cardiorespiratory state, and the nurse should assess measures of cardiac output and respiratory function. Taking vital signs will give the nurse information about these two systems. Vegetable intake, laboratory studies (including liver function tests), and palpating lymph nodes are not related to cyanosis.
