Feedback:
While the client is intubated, nursing care consists of providing oral care every 2 hours, monitoring respiratory status and placement of the ET (it can slip out of position), and repositioning the client to prevent hazards of immobility (e.g., pneumonia). Chest compressions are performed with CPR.
