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?

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 (
