#093: A properly placed oropharyngeal airway:
A) prevents aspiration if the patient regurgitates.
B) keeps the tongue off of the posterior pharynx.
C) eliminates the need to perform a head tilt-chin lift.
D) will not stimulate a conscious patient's gag reflex. – answer B) keeps the tongue off
of the posterior pharynx.
The oropharyngeal (oral) airway is an artificial adjunct used to keep the tongue away
from the posterior pharynx (back of the throat), thereby preventing it from blocking the
upper airway. It is used in conjunction with, not in lieu of, the head tilt-chin lift or jaw-
thrust maneuver to maintain patency of the airway. The oral airway will not prevent
aspiration if the patient regurgitates because it does not occlude the esophagus or
protect the trachea. The oral airway is contraindicated in conscious patients and in all
patients, even those who are unconscious, who have an intact gag reflex. Stimulation of
the gag reflex may cause vomiting and aspiration.
#094: - answer
#095: When suctioning copious secretions from a semiconscious adult's airway, you
should:
A) suction for up to 20 seconds while withdrawing the catheter.
B) apply suction as you carefully insert the catheter into the mouth.
C) avoid touching the back of the airway with the suction catheter.
D) use a flexible catheter because it will remove the secretions faster. - answerC) avoid
touching the back of the airway with the suction catheter.
When suctioning a patient's airway, especially if he or she is semiconscious, you should
avoid touching the back of the airway with the suction catheter. Inserting the catheter
too far may stimulate the gag reflex, cause vomiting, and increase the risk of aspiration.
Rigid (tonsil-tip) catheters are best for removing large amounts of fluid from the airway.
Flexible (whistle-tip) catheters are used in situations in which rigid catheters cannot be
used, such as with a patient who has a stoma, with patients whose teeth are clenched,
or if suctioning the nose is necessary. Apply suction while you are withdrawing the
catheter. Suction the airway until it is clear of secretions and the patient can be safely
oxygenated and ventilated. ANY secretions left in the patient's oropharynx can be
aspirated.
, #096: During your initial attempt to ventilate an unresponsive apneic patient, you meet
resistance and do not see the patient's chest rise. You should:
A) begin CPR, starting with chest compressions.
B) reposition the airway and reattempt to ventilate.
C) suction the oropharynx and reattempt to ventilate.
D) assume that a foreign body is blocking the airway. - answerB) reposition the airway
and reattempt to ventilate.
If your initial attempt to ventilate a patient is met with resistance and/or does not make
the chest visibly rise, you should reposition the patient's airway and reattempt to
ventilate. In many cases, this simple action will enable you to ventilate the patient.
However, If both of your breaths are met with resistance and/or do not make the chest
visibly rise, you should assume that a foreign body is obstructing the airway and begin
chest compressions. The airway should be suctioned if secretions are present in the
mouth; if oral secretions are not present, do not suction.
#097: You are ventilating an apneic 50-year-old woman with a bag-mask device. After
squeezing the bag and noting visible chest rise, you should:
A) squeeze the bag again in 3 seconds.
B) thoroughly suction the patient's oropharynx.
C) reopen the airway and ventilate again.
D) allow the patient to completely exhale. - answerD
#098: Which of the following devices is contraindicated in patients with blunt thoracic
trauma?
A) Oral airway
B) Nasal airway
C) Bag-mask device
D) Oxygen-powered ventilator - answerD?
#099: A patient with a mild foreign body airway obstruction:
A) is typically not cyanotic.
B) presents with a weak cough.
C) has a low oxygen saturation.
D) has progressive difficulty breathing. - answerB?
#100: - answer
#101: The active, muscular part of breathing is called:
A) expiration.
B) inhalation.
C) ventilation.
D) respiration. - answerB) inhalation.
The active, muscular part of breathing is called inhalation (inspiration). During
inhalation, the diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract. When the diaphragm
