Which of the following options is not considered a necessary part of client documentation?

The high pressure alarm is sounding on a home ventilator. As your partner prepares the bag-valve mask, you quickly determine that no problem exists with the machine itself. As positive pressure ventilation is initiated, you note high resistance to the ventilations and have a difficult time adequately squeezing the bag. Your next action would be to:
A) Set the ventilator rate faster with a greater tidal volume and initiate transport B) Remove the ventilator, apply oxygen via a nonrebreather mask placed over the tracheostomy tube, continue care, and transport the patient C) Not change the ventilator or settings, but rather summon ALS for on-scene backup or en route intercept D) Replace the ventilator circuit with a new one and try using the home ventilator again
Calculate the static compliance given the following clinical data: tidal volume 500 mL, peak in-spiratory pressure (PIP) 35 cm H2O, plateau pressure (Pplateau) 25 cm H2O, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) 12 cm H2O,
measured unintended positive end-expiratory pressure (auto-PEEP) 3 cm H2O, and tubing com-pliance (CT) 2.5 mL/cm H2O. a. 17.5 mL/cm H2O b. 34 mL/cm H2O c. 36 mL/cm H2O d. 47.5 mL/cm H2O
