Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurse should use a PAPR when rescuing victims exposed to hazardous chemicals or bioterrorist substances, as compared to an N95 respirator, which is individually fitted for each caregiver. A surgical mask or a generic face mask would provide insufficient protection.

Answer to Question 2

A
If the patient does not have a gag reflex he or she is at an increased risk of aspiration. If no gag reflex is present two people may be needed, one to perform oral care and the other to suction the patient's mouth to prevent aspiration of fluid. The prone position is face down, which is not the position of choice. After you check for the gag reflex, a suction machine is necessary to remove secretions. A padded tongue blade is used to hold the mouth open.
