COVID-19

A nurse is caring for a 58-year-old male COVID-19 patient who has been intubated and on mechanical ventilation for 5 days in the ICU. During your shift, the patient suddenly develops severe chest pain, increased respiratory distress, and his blood pressure drops from 130/80 to 90/50 mmHg. The ventilator alarm is sounding due to high peak pressures. A stat chest X-ray confirms a right-sided pneumothorax. What is the nurse's priority action?
