A nurse is monitoring a client who recently had an esophagogastroduodenoscopy procedure. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication that the client is recovering after the procedure as expected?

A. An SpO₂ of 92% is borderline low and may suggest mild hypoxia, which is not ideal after sedation and a procedure involving the airway. B. A heart rate of 110/min is elevated (tachycardia) and could indicate pain, anxiety, or a complication such as bleeding. C. A temperature of 38.7°C (101.7°F) is elevated and could indicate infection or perforation, a serious complication of an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). D. A respiratory rate of 14/min is within the normal range (12–20/min) and indicates the client is recovering appropriately in terms of respiratory function after sedation.
