Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

The tracheostomy tube would only be suctioned if indicated; this would not be a routine step to perform at all times. The other steps would routinely be performed prior to capping the tube.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

The pipe cleaner should not be used to dry the outside of the cannula, only the inside. The remaining steps are correct.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
