NURS 5355 FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
VERIFIED CORRECT ANSWERS
determine difficult intubation with? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-LEMONS
size of tongue to oral cavity? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-Mallampati Classification Score
absolute CI in endotracheal intubation? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-total upper airway obstruction or loss
of oropharyngeal landmarks from trauma or burns
pressure on cricoid cartilage to compress esophagus to prevent regurg during intubation? - VERIFIED
ANSWER✔✔-Sellick's Maneuver
insert blade with ? hand on ? of the mouth? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-left hand & on right side of the
mouth to displace tongue to the left
aligns the oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal axes? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-sniffing position for intubation
goal of preoxygenation? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-maximize arterial PaO2 & denitrogenation of
functional residual capacity
maximizes time for intubation w/o O2 desaturation (7-9 min in healthy adult)
Room Air is? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-primarily 21% oxygen and 78% nitrogen
rapid onset and short duration paralytic? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-Succinylcholine: 30-45 sec; 5-10 mins
Increases K levels
rescue breaths during CPR? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-less important; interrupts chest compressions and
increases intrathoracic pressure
, see base of the uvula? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-Class III Mallampati
soft palate not visible? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-Class IV Mallampati
difficult BVM ventilation? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-MOANS
oxygenation versus ventilation? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-O2 to blood and tissues versus air in and out of
the lungs
precludes apneic patient requiring crash airway? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-RSI
steps to RSI? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-prepare, assess (LEMONS) & preoxygenate (MOANS), medications
Crash intubation? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-no RSI in unconscious or apneic patient due to cardiac arrest
occurs with inspiratory effort- inspiratory stridor? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-Laryngospasm- forced glottic
closure but with inspiration
induce amnesia, reduces autonomic reflex activity, no analgesia? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-Sedatives
Mimics Acetylcholine? (depolarizing) - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-Succinylcholine- allows sodium to rush in
and potassium out
reversal for Roc & Vec (non-depolarizing)? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-Neostigmine (anticholinesterase)
ETT ? into trachea and ? above carina? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-2.5cm into trachea, below clavicle, and
3-5 cm above carina (T5)
aseptic technique? - VERIFIED ANSWER✔✔-reduce/prevention of flora and re-growth
