Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
The 2010 AHA resuscitation guidelines recommend performing chest compressions at a rate of 100 per minute with few and very brief interruptions for ventilation, pulse checks, intubation, and defibrillation.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
Nasotracheal suctioning has many risks associated with it. The most serious relate to hypoxemia, which often results in cardiac dysrhythmias, laryngeal spasm, and bradycardia (due to stimulation of the vagus nerve). Nasal trauma and bleeding can develop as the result of trauma from the suction catheter.
