63-year-old K.S. has just arrived to the PACU, where the nurse makes the initial assessment. K.S. is turned, the OR sheets are removed, his skin is observed for redness and pooling of blood, and his head is elevated 45 degrees. He is on 40% humidified oxygen via a  Ventimask mask. K.S’s initial set of vital signs are 140/80, HR 92, RR 14, T 99° and pulse ox 98%. Fifteen minutes later, the nurse charts his vital signs as 144/76, HR 100; RR 10, T 99.1° and pulse ox 88%.

1.   What action would be appropriate by the nurse based on the vital signs assessment 15 minutes after arrival to PACU?

2.   What age-related factors would the nurse want to consider regarding K.S.’s nursing care?
