Answer:

Changes in temperature and pulse. Amount, odor, and color of secretions. Frequency and severity of cough, degree of tachypnea or shortness of breath. Also changes in the chest x-ray findings.

Step-by-step explanation:

You would be able to rule out the temperature, pulse, cough, and shortness of breath quite easily. However if they don’t show these signs then you will have to go deeper and use other methods. For example, an x-ray.
