The patient has a chest tube for a pneumothorax. Assessment revealed no continuous bubbling in the water-seal chamber. The nurse finds no loose connections. After the chest tube near the patient is clamped, the bubbling stops.
 
  The nurse's first action should be to: a. apply pressure to the dressing around the chest tube insertion site.
  b. move the clamp farther down the tube and note whether bubbling resumes.
  c. replace the entire collection tubing and system.
  d. increase suction control until bubbling does not resume when the clamp is removed.
