Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
All oxygen delivery systems have advantages and disadvantages. One disadvantage of a nasal cannula is possible abdominal distention and discomfort, which could lead to vomiting. The advantages include that the child is able to eat and drink more comfortably, there is no need for a high humidity environment, and there is no accumulation of moisture causing skin irritation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The inability to speak is indicative of a foreign body airway obstruction of the larynx. Abdominal thrusts are needed for treatment of the choking child. Gagging, not obstruction, indicates irritation at the back of the throat. Coughing does not indicate a complete airway obstruction. Tachycardia may be present for many reasons.
