Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The neck extension and sniffing position are both contraindicated for an unstable cervical spine injury. The head is elevated too high in the Fowler position to facilitate intubation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A Mallampati airway class III and a thyromental distance of less than 6 cm are predictors of a difficult airway. Because this airway examination demonstrates an airway that is not difficult, the initial attempts to establish an airway should be by means of oral intubation.
