Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
In these cases, completely remove the tube and provide ventilatory support as needed until the patient can be reintubated or the tracheostomy tube reinserted.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The presence of a peritubular leak during spontaneous breathing indicates no encroachment of airway (a positive test).
