Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

C
The syringe should be inserted into the sides of the mouth rather than the back of the throat to avoid a vagal response and bradycardia.
Vigorous suction of the back of the throat may stimulate the vagal nerve and produce brady-cardia.
The mouth should be suctioned first to prevent aspiration.
Suction can occur as needed.
