Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A catheter of about 56 cm (22 inches) should be long enough to reach a mainstem bronchus.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Multiply the ET tube size by 3; this converts the ET size to French units (Fr). Then divide the re-sult by 2, for a size that is half or less of the ET diameter.
