Question 1 of 5

While a nurse is caring for a client who is receiving mechanical ventilation via an endotracheal tube, the high-pressure alarm on the ventilator sounds. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Suction the client's airway. When the high-pressure alarm on the ventilator sounds, it indicates that there is an obstruction in the airway. Suctioning helps to clear the airway and prevent further complications. Looking for a leak in the tube's cuff (
B) is not the priority in this situation. Tightening tubing connections (
C) may not address the immediate issue of airway obstruction. Requesting insertion of a tracheostomy tube (
