You are an RN in the ICU and hear a high pressure alarm coming from an intubated patient. The monitor shows increased PIP, PaO2 75, & PaCO2 49. Upon assessment, the patient is displaying decreased breath sounds & unequal chest excursion. What priority intervention should occur next?
Call a code & stay with the patient
Call the physician & prepare for chest tube insertion
Perform manual ventilation with an ambu bag
Turn down vent settings & call the physician
Disconnect the patient from the vent
A patient with a history of COPD is receiving oxygen via nasal cannula at 6 L/min. ABG results are as follows: pH 7.28, PaCO2 60 mm Hg, PaO2 51 mm Hg, HCO3 18 mEq/L. Which priority intervention is indicated?
Place the patient on a simple mask at 40% FiO2
Intubate & place on mechanical ventilation
Place the patient on BiPAP
Place the patient on a non-rebreather mask
A client with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is on a ventilator. The client’s peak inspiratory pressures and spontaneous respiratory rate are increasing, and the PO2 is not improving. Using SBAR, the nurse calls the physician with the recommendation for:
Initiation IV sedation
Starting a high-protein diet
Providing pain medication
Increasing the ventilator rate
