The patient is currently on the following settings: PRVC  VT 500 mL   f 14 BPM   Ti 1 sec   PEEP 5 cmH2O   FiO2 of 0.5 ABG is as follows:  pH 7.30   PaCO2 45 mmHg   PaO2 100 mmHg   HCO3- 29 mEq/L Which of the following frequency changes is most likely to accomplish temporary hyperventilation in this patient?

ABG reveals: pH 7.31   PaCO2 72 mmHg   PaO2 88 mmHg   SaO2 90%   HCO3-  32 mEq/L At this time, the most appropriate recommendation is:
