She has near normal ABGs… Wean(I)? But she has mild increase in Co2, so do we increase the resp rate (K)? -If we increase the resp rate, will that decrease the hypoxic drive?

she's chronic COPD, so she's more likely to retain CO2. Increasing FI02 or respiratory rate only makes it worse. Her baseline CO2 is higher that normal anyway.
I agree with N (weaning)
