A 58-yeаr-оld mаle with а histоry оf COPD, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension was admitted two days ago for a left lower lobe pneumonia. He is on azithromycin, albuterol PRN, metformin, and lisinopril. His morning vital signs were BP 138/86, HR 92, RR 18, Temp 38.2°C, SpO2 91% on 2L nasal cannula — which his nurse documented as "consistent with his baseline." He ate breakfast with minimal difficulty. At 1420, his wife activates the call light and tells you he seems "not right." You enter the room. He is sitting upright, leaning forward with hands on the overbed table. He is using his neck muscles to breathe. He answers your question with single words only. SpO2 reads 84%. RR is now 32. His skin is dusky. He was last seen by the charge nurse at 1300 with SpO2 89% and "increased work of breathing noted — monitoring." What does the nurse do first?
