The nurse is assessing a client who has just given birth and notes her prelabor vital signs reveal a temperature 98.8of (37.1oc), blood pressure 120/70 mm hg, hr 80, and rr 20. which current vital sign assessment should the nurse prioritize

The nurse should prioritize the respiratory rate

Explanation:

The normal respiratory rate is between 12 and 20 breaths per minute, in this case the woman is taking 22 breath per minute which means that her rate is elevated. The temperature should be between 97.8 °F  and 99.1 °F which it is. The systolic blood pressure normal rates are 120-80 mm Hg and the diastolic blood pressure  rates are 60 mm Hg, the woman has her pressure in the normal levels and finally the heart rate is also normal, her rate is of 80 beats per minute and the normal range is 60 to 100 beats per minute.

try using substitution:

x + y - 6 = x - y. (i'm not giving you the exact answer). since 0 = x - y, then sub 0 in the equation with x - y. combine your like terms, and then use inverse operations, and you'll have your answer.
