Using a closed-suction technique to suction the patient is the best choice as it is the correct technique to use when caring for a patient receiving manual ventilation with PEEP. Suctioning every 2 hours may be necessary but is not specific to this type of patient. Taping the connection and changing the ventilator circuit tubing routinely are important, but they do not necessarily indicate understanding of care for a patient receiving manual ventilation with PEEP.
