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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Suction the client's airway. When the high-pressure alarm sounds on a ventilator, it indicates that there is an obstruction in the client's airway. Suctioning helps to clear the airway and maintain effective ventilation. Tightening tubing connections (
A) is not indicated as the issue is with the airway, not the connections. Requesting a tracheostomy tube insertion (
B) is not necessary unless there is a persistent problem with the endotracheal tube. Looking for a leak in the cuff (
D) is important but not the immediate action needed when the high-pressure alarm sounds.
