Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The nurse would instruct not to apply suction during the insertion of the catheter.
Rationale 2: Oral suctioning using a Yankauer suction tube can be delegated to UAP, since this is not a sterile procedure. The nurse needs to review the procedure and important points, such as not applying suction during insertion of the tube to avoid trauma to the mucous membrane.
Rationale 3: Oral suctioning uses clean, not sterile, technique.
Rationale 4: The nurse should not delegate the auscultation of lung sounds to UAP.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: When conducting nasotracheal suctioning, the nurse should apply suction for 510 seconds.
Rationale 2: Suctioning should be done for no longer than 5 minutes.
Rationale 3: Suction should never be applied while inserting the catheter.
Rationale 4: Suction should only be applied for 510 seconds.
