The SaO2 is 88% and the ventilator settings are FiO2 50%; PEEP 8 cm; AC 10 with a total respiratory rate of 30; and a tidal volume of 700 mL. There are coarse rhonchi audible in all lung fields. Which action should the nurse take?
◦ Administer the ordered neuromuscular blockade medications.
◦ Increase the PEEP to 10 cm and sedate the patient.
◦ Hyperoxygenate with 100% oxygen and suction the patient.
