Wrong lol It's #4. #1 is wrong because a bronchoscopy provides visualization of internal respiratory structures.

ABGs are done to assess alterations in acid-base balance caused by respiratory disorders, metabolic disorders, or both. Sputum studies can provide specific information about bacterial organisms. Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive test that evaluates the oxygen saturation level of blood.
