EXAM QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS |\ |\ |\




Airway management involves opening the airway, and ventilating
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


the lungs. When working to open the airway, what are the 2
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


methods to do this? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔proper positioning
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


of the airway, using an artificial airway
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




In which patient population do you want to do the "head-tilt-chin-
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


lift" manouver so it looks like the patient is sniffing the air? -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔infant |\ |\




Airway obstructions produced by tongue and/or epiglottis can be
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


relieved by this intervention: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔head tilt
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


chin lift |\




T/F: When lifting the chin to open the airway, you should lift the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


boney part of the jaw using fingers (not thumb), and lift the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


mandible upward and outward? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔T |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


than a head tilt- chin lift? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔C-spine injury,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


suspected SCI, unwitnessed fall, unconscious patient, trauma
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




The jaw thrust manoeuvre involves: placing 2-3 fingers under
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


each side of the ______, displace the jaw _____, and use the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


thumb to retract the patient's____. - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔lower
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


jaw angle, forward, lower lip
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\

,To facilitate mechanical ventilation, to protect the airway (e.g.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


prevent aspiration), to facilitate suctioning of the airway, and to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


relieve an upper airway obstruction are all examples of what? -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔indications for an artificial airway
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




This type of artificial airway holds the tongue away from the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


posterior pharynx. It facilitates suctioning of the pharynx, and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


prevents patient from biting? - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


✔✔oropharyngeal airway |\




What are the most common sizes of oropharyngeal airways in
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


adults? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔8-9cm
|\ |\ |\ |\




T/F: oropharyngeal airways can be used as a bite block for

|\ |\ |\ |\ |\




T/F: oropharyngeal airways can be used on conscious or
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


unconcious patients? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔F (only unconcious
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


without a gag reflex)
|\ |\ |\ |\




T/F: oropharyngeal airways can be used on breathing or non-
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


breathing patients? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔T |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




You know that your oropharyngeal airway is the right fit when
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


you measure it so that the flange is at the patient's _____, and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


the tip of the airway is at the patient's ____? - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


ANSWERS ✔✔mouth, angle of the jaw (or bottom of the earlobe)
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

, When inserting an oropharyngeal airway into an adult, you
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


lubricate the correct sized piece. Then you insert _____ (upside
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


down/ right side up), until resistance is met, then rotate
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


___(upside down/ right side up) and continue pushing until airway
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


is in proper position. - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔upside down, right
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


side up
|\ |\




A potential complication of a oropharyngeal airway is that it may
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


lead to a complete airway obstruction, due to what 2 things? -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔airway is too long (presses epiglottis
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


against the larynx), airway not inserted properly (pushes tongue
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


back)


This type of artificial airway facilitates suctioning of the pharynx,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


and holds the tongue away from the posterior wall of the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


pharynx? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔nasopharyngeal airway |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




You must put in an artificial airway to properly manage the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


airway for a patient who needs frequent suctioning, and is
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


conscious/ has an intact gag reflex. What is an appropriate choice
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


for artificial airway? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔nasopharyngeal
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


airway


Insertion of an oral airway not possible, patient has an intact gag
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


reflex, and the patient needs frequent suctioning are all
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


examples of what? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔indications for|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


nasopharyngeal airway |\
