The correct option is (c) 70%.
The nurse would document 70% blood oxygen saturation as normal for the patient.
What is Venous oxygen saturation?
- The amount of oxygen in the blood that returns to the right side of the heart after perfusing the entire body is known as venous oxygen saturation (SvO2).
- An abnormal SvO2 results from insufficient systemic oxygenation when the oxygen supply is insufficient to meet the metabolic demands of the tissues.
- To assess the severity of tissue hypoperfusion situations and the mixed venous blood oxygen saturation levels, continuous central venous oximetry (ScvO2) monitoring may be performed.
- As blood returns to the heart and pulmonary system to be re-oxygenated, a central catheter is inserted into the superior vena cava (SVC), and a sensor on the catheter monitors the oxygen saturation of the blood in the SVC. 70% is the average ScvO2 value.

Answer:
B
Explanation:
Ossification: The process of creating bone, that is of transforming cartilage (or fibrous tissue) into the bone. The human skeleton initially consists largely of cartilage which is relatively soft and is gradually transformed into a hard bone during infant and child development.
