A pаtient with аcute respirаtоry distress syndrоme (ARDS) is receiving mechanical ventilatiоn. The ventilator suddenly triggers a high-pressure alarm. The patient becomes restless, begins coughing forcefully against the endotracheal tube, and appears increasingly anxious. The SpO₂ decreases from 96% to 87% with a good waveform display. The ventilator displays an elevated peak airway pressure, and coarse breath sounds are heard bilaterally. Place the nursing actions in the correct order of priority.

The patient states, "This is the worst headache I have ever had." The patient vomited once before arrival and is sensitive to light. A CT scan confirms a subarachnoid hemorrhage, and cerebral angiography identifies a ruptured cerebral aneurysm. Current assessment: Glasgow Coma Scale: 14 BP: 188/102 mm Hg HR: 86/min RR: 18/min SpO₂: 98% on room air Pupils equal and reactive No new focal motor deficits The provider establishes a goal of maintaining the patient's systolic BP below 160 mm Hg while avoiding hypotension and orders an IV nicardipine continuous infusion for persistent hypertension.
