Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
In order to ease the insertion below the larynx, the nurse should wait until the client takes a breath and then advance the tubing 8 to 10 in. (20 to 25 cm). Advancing the catheter 5 to 6 in. (12.5 to 15 cm) in the nose or 3 to 4 in. (7.5 to 10 cm) in the mouth places the distal tip in the pharynx. The nurse occludes the air vent and rotates the catheter as it is withdrawn in order to maximize the effectiveness of suctioning.

Answer to Question 2

C
Hair is covered by a cap when the nurse is working in the semirestricted and restricted areas of surgical suite and in areas of the hospital where special procedures are done.
