In preparing a patient in the ICU for oral ET intubation, what should the nurse do that
is most important for successful intubation?
a. Place the patient supine with the head extended and the neck flexed.
b. Tell the patient that the tongue must be extruded while the tube is inserted.
c. Position the patient supine with the head hanging over the edge of the bed to align
the mouth and trachea.
d. Inform the patient that while it will not be possible to talk during insertion of the
tube, speech will be possible after it is correctly placed.
Give this one a try later!

Which mode of ventilation is used with critically ill patients and allows the patient to
self-regulate the rate and depth of spontaneous respirations but may also deliver a
preset volume and frequency of breaths?
a. Assist-control ventilation (ACV)
b. Pressure support ventilation (PSV)
c. Pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation (PC-IRV)
d. Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV)

Which descriptions are characteristic of hypoxemic respiratory failure (select all that
apply)?
, a. Referred to as ventilatory failure
b. Main problem is inadequate O2 transfer
c. Risk of inadequate O2 saturation of hemoglobin exists
d. Body is unable to compensate for acidemia of increased partial pressure of carbon
dioxide in arterial blood (PaCO2)
e. Most often caused by ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) mismatch and shunt
f. Exists when partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) is less than 60 mm
Hg, even when O2 is given at 60% or more
