Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The chin lift and jaw thrust are contraindicated in the case of a fractured mandible. Use of any of the oropharyngeal airways might cause gagging or vomiting in patients who are awake.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The jaw thrust is the maneuver used to intubate a patient with an unstable cervical spine injury. The presence of temporomandibular joint disease can be an indication of a difficult intubation, but it is not a contraindication for the sniffing position. When a patient is vomiting, his head should be turned to one side to prevent aspiration.
