In her new job as a nurse, Denise has been instructed to divide her verbal reports into basic information, patient status, and interventions and response. Which statement provides information about the patient’s status?

Patient status describes the patient’s current condition. Normal vital signs report that condition, so “The patient’s vital signs are normal” is the status statement. The other choices give background information, arrival time, or a planned intervention.
