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.
