While completing 'B' in the ABCDE assessment, you measure the patient's respiratory rate as 24 and oxygen saturations as 92% on air. Which set of actions best reflects safe 'Breathing' assessment in the OSCE?

Count respiratory rate for a full minute, measure SpO2, observe symmetry and effort, auscultate the chest and consider oxygen if indicated Estimate the respiratory rate over 15 seconds and move straight to circulation Apply 15 L/min oxygen via a non-rebreathe mask to every patient regardless of saturations Record only the oxygen saturation because it replaces the need to count respirations

Count respiratory rate for a full minute, measure SpO2, observe symmetry and effort, auscultate the chest and consider oxygen if indicated
