A nurse is obtaining a client's vital signs. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the charge nurse?

A. Heart rate 98/min. A heart rate of 98 beats per minute is within the normal range for adults, which is typically between 60 and 100 beats per minute. Therefore, this finding does not require reporting. B. Temperature 38.0 °C (100.4 °F). A temperature of 38.0 °C (100.4 °F) is considered a low-grade fever and may indicate an infection or other underlying condition. This finding should be reported to the charge nurse for further assessment and potential intervention. C. Respiratory rate 14/min. A respiratory rate of 14 breaths per minute is within the normal range for adults, which is generally between 12 and 20 breaths per minute. This finding does not require reporting. D. Blood pressure 142/88 mm Hg. A blood pressure reading of 142/88 mm Hg is classified as elevated or stage 1 hypertension. While it is important to monitor blood pressure, this finding may not require immediate reporting unless there are additional concerning symptoms or a significant change from the client's baseline readings.
