You arrive at a nursing facility for a "respiratory distress" call. The frantic nurse says that a patient cannot breathe. You find a 72-year-old woman who has a feeding tube visible from her mouth. She cannot speak and is having trouble breathing. Your partner asks how long the tube has been in place, and the nurse says it was just placed by the visiting doctor about 10 minutes ago. The doctor has left the building. What is your best course of action?
A) Gently remove the tube and assess lung sounds.
B) Intubate the patient with the tube in place.
C) Place the patient on a nonrebreather and prepare to transport.
D) Have the patient cough to dislodge the tube.
