Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
With the maxillofacial injury, the oral cavity will not be accessible. Intubation via the nasal route may be required. It is a short term need so a tracheotomy will not be necessary.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Successful passage of the tube through the larynx usually is indicated by a harsh cough, followed by vocal silence.
