First thing straight, you misspelled oximetry. Second thing is the definition of pulse oximetry is a noninvasive method allowing the monitoring of oxygenation of a patient's hemoglobin.

Yes as can the fingertips, toes and nose.
Pulse oximetry reading
Maybe you mean pulse oximetry. It is the measurement of oxygen in your blood. It is measured when they put that clip on the tip of your finger.

Factors that can affect a pulse oximetry reading include:bad circulation, shock, cardiac arrestanemiataking your blood pressure at the same time in the same limbDirty sensors on the machinenail polishexcess ambient lightan environment cold enough to affect blood flow through the limb
Pulse oximetry is used to measure the oxygen saturation levels in the blood. It helps indicate how well oxygen is being transported to the body's organs and tissues. This information is important for monitoring and managing respiratory conditions, such as asthma, COPD, and pneumonia.
Assess the patient first, then reposition the sensor, ask the patient to take some deep breaths, and then take next steps based on the clinical situation.
