Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
To ensure a good sputum sample, every effort must be made to separate saliva from true respira-tory tract secretions. In some cases, protocols include having patients brush their teeth and tongue surface thoroughly and rinse their mouths before sputum induction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The T tube is used for patients who are orally or nasally intubated or who have a tracheostomy. The tracheostomy mask is used solely for patients who have a tracheostomy.
