A patient with ARDS is on a mechanical ventilator and is becoming increasingly restless with a heart rate of 128
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. The appropriate nursing action would be to: 1. Hyperoxygenate with 100% oxygen and suction the patient. 2. Administer the ordered neuromuscular blockade medications. 3. Increase the FiO2 to 60% and tidal volume to 750 mL for 2 minutes. 4. Increase the PEEP to 10 cm and sedate the patient.
