Airway & Ventilation
Final Test (Qns & Ans)
2025
General Instructions
1. Read All Questions Carefully: Make sure you understand each question.
2. Time Management: You have a specific amount of time to complete the exam.
Keep an eye on the clock and pace yourself.
3. Allowed Materials: Only use materials that are explicitly allowed. Unauthorized
materials can lead to disqualification.
4. ANS Format: Follow the required format for your ANS. For example, multiple-choice
questions might need you to select the best ANS, while essay questions require
detailed responses.
5. Academic Integrity: Adhere to the university's honor code. Any form of cheating or
plagiarism is strictly prohibited.
6. Technical Requirements: Ensure your computer and internet connection are
stable. For online exams, you might need a webcam and microphone for proctoring

,1. Which of the following is the most appropriate initial
intervention for a trauma patient with a suspected airway
obstruction?
- A) Administering oxygen via nasal cannula
- B) Performing a jaw-thrust maneuver
- C) Applying a cervical collar
- D) Starting an IV line
- ANS: B
- Rationale: The jaw-thrust maneuver is used to open the
airway in patients with suspected cervical spine injuries without
moving the neck.
2. What is the primary purpose of endotracheal intubation in
trauma patients?
- A) To provide pain relief
- B) To secure the airway and ensure adequate ventilation
- C) To administer medications
- D) To monitor blood pressure
- ANS: B

, - Rationale: Endotracheal intubation secures the airway and
ensures adequate ventilation, especially in patients with
compromised airways.
3. Which of the following signs indicates a potential airway
obstruction in a trauma patient?
- A) Tachycardia
- B) Stridor
- C) Hypotension
- D) Bradycardia
- ANS: B
- Rationale: Stridor is a high-pitched sound indicating a
potential airway obstruction and requires immediate assessment
and intervention.
4. What is the primary goal of using a bag-valve-mask (BVM)
device in trauma patients?
- A) To administer medications
- B) To provide positive pressure ventilation
- C) To monitor oxygen saturation
- D) To reduce pain
- ANS: B

, - Rationale: A bag-valve-mask (BVM) device provides
positive pressure ventilation to ensure adequate oxygenation and
ventilation in patients who are not breathing adequately.
5. Which of the following interventions is appropriate for a
patient with a suspected tension pneumothorax?
- A) Administering pain medication
- B) Performing needle decompression
- C) Starting an IV line
- D) Applying a chest tube
- ANS: B
- Rationale: Needle decompression is a priority intervention
to relieve pressure and restore normal breathing in a patient with a
tension pneumothorax.
6. What is the purpose of using a nasopharyngeal airway (NPA)
in trauma patients?
- A) To secure the airway in patients with facial trauma
- B) To administer medications
- C) To monitor blood pressure
- D) To provide pain relief
- ANS: A
