D. Elastic stockings are not necessarily indicated for a client with a history of vertigo.

Answer to Question 2

Yankauer or tonsillar tip
A Yankauer, or tonsillar tip, suction device is used for oropharyngeal suctioning. This catheter is used instead of a standard suction catheter when oral secretions are extremely copious and thick, because it can handle large volumes of secretions better than a standard suction catheter can. The Yankauer suction catheter is angled to facilitate removal of secretions through a patient's mouth.
