After 15 minutes of oxygen therapy, the nurse observes the patient resting with closed eyes, pink skin, a respiratory rate of 8 breaths/min, and an oxygen saturation of 95%. Which action would the nurse expect to take? . Decrease the oxygen to 2 L/min to improve the respiratory rate. Increase the oxygen to 5 L/min to increase the oxygen saturation.
