    The nurse notifies the healthcare provider of the client's status. The healthcare provider comes to the bedside to evaluate the client. Which should the nurse do? Select all that apply.

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. After successful weaning, the client will need supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula or face mask to ensure continued oxygenation post-extubation. B. The current weaning process is progressing as expected with pressure support decreasing steadily. There is no indication that a different ventilator mode is necessary at this time. C. There is no indication in the scenario that the client requires a nasogastric tube for ventilation weaning or extubation. D. The fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO₂) is currently at 35%, which is appropriate during the weaning process. Increasing FiO₂ without indication could disrupt the weaning progression. E. The weaning process is designed to gradually reduce support. Adding mandatory breaths would counteract the progress made in reducing ventilatory support. F. The client has been weaned to minimal ventilatory support, which suggests the healthcare provider may plan for extubation. Having supplies ready will facilitate a smooth extubation process.
