An infant at 26 weeks of gestation arrives intubated from the delivery room. The nurse weighs the infant, places him under the radiant warmer, and attaches him to the ventilator at the prescribed settings.
 
  A pulse oximeter and cardiorespiratory monitor are placed. The pulse oximeter is recording oxygen saturations of 80. The prescribed saturations are 92. The nurse's most appropriate action would be to:
  a. Listen to breath sounds and ensure the patency of the endotracheal tube, increase oxygen, and notify a physician.
  b. Continue to observe and make no changes until the saturations are 75.
  c. Continue with the admission process to ensure that a thorough assessment is completed.
  d. Notify the parents that their infant is not doing well.
