A newborn with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is receiving continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy by way of an endotracheal tube. The nurse determines that the infant’s breath sounds on the right side are diminished and that the point of maximum impulse (PMI) of the heartbeat is in the left axillary line. Which is the interpretation of these assessment data and the appropriate nursing action? geoquad A Inspiratory pressure on the ventilator is probably too low and should be increased for adequate ventitation. geoquad B Infants with RDS often have some degree of atelectasis, and there should be no change in treatment. geoquad C The endotracheal tube has slipped into the left main stem bronchus and should be pulled back to ventitate both lungs. geoquad D The infant may have a pneumothorax, and the health care provider should be called so that corrective therapy can be started immediately.
