As the RN is suctioning a client, the pulse oximetry reading drops to 83%. What should the nurse do?
1. Allow the client to take some extra deep breaths.
2. Continue to suction but only intermittently.
3. Keep the catheter in place and wait a few minutes.
4. Stop suctioning and give supplemental oxygen.
