The health care provider then disconnects the syringe from the port. Suddenly, the client becomes confused, disoriented, and pale. The nurse suspects an air embolus. The nurse should place the client in a supine position and prepare to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. place the client in high-Fowler’s position and administer supplemental oxygen. position the client in the shock position with legs elevated. turn the client on the left side and place the bed in Trendelenburg’s position.
