Which of the following is NOT part of the cardiopulmonary systems review?

The cardiopulmonary assessment focuses on signs that directly reflect how the heart and lungs are functioning: heart rate shows how often the heart is beating and supports cardiac output, blood pressure indicates how well the circulation is delivering blood to the body, and the rate of breathing reveals how hard the lungs and airways are working to meet the body's oxygen needs. Temperature, while an important vital sign, signals infection or systemic inflammation rather than cardiopulmonary function itself, so it doesn’t measure how well the heart or lungs are performing. It’s typically part of the general health overview rather than the specific cardiopulmonary review.
