Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Insertion of an oropharyngeal airway is done upside-down and then turned. Inserting the naso-pharyngeal airway parallel to the long axis of the nose is inserting it up the nose and is likely to cause bleeding. It is impossible to insert the nasopharyngeal airway perpendicular to the nasal pharynx floor.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The placement of a laryngeal mask airway does not necessitate airway manipulation or a special device. It does not protect the lungs from aspiration because it does not reliably seal the esopha-geal inlet. It is, however, superior to a nasopharyngeal airway.
