What if you note a discrepancy in the breaths per minute


Problem: You arrive to your scheduled shift and begin your initial patient assessment. During your initial assessment you note a discrepancy in the breaths per minute the patient is receiving via the ventilator (16 bpm) and the physicians order (12 bpm), as written on the most recent 485/Plan of Care. The patient is in stable condition with no noted distress and all vital signs are normal. What should you do first?
