Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A The illness stage is the interval between the entrance of pathogen into the body and the appearance of first symptoms.
B The prodromal stage is the interval from the onset of nonspecific signs and symptoms to more specific symptoms.
C The illness stage is the interval when the patient manifests signs and symptoms specific to the type of infection.
D Convalescence is the interval when the acute symptoms of infection disappear and the body tries to replenish its resources and return to a state of homeostasis.

Answer to Question 2

C
Suctioning passes should be limited to 10 to 15 seconds to avoid oxygen desaturation. Suction for a tracheostomy should be set at 100 to 150 mm Hg. Excessive lubrication can clog the catheter or occlude the airway. Suction should not be applied until after the catheter has been inserted.
