Answer to Question 1

C
When circulatory pressure is not accessible, the popliteal artery, located behind the knee, is the site of choice.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Airway management is the application of essential nursing skills that maintain natural or artificial airways for compromised clients. This may involve the treatment of infections or assistance with the mobilization of secretions, but these are not definitive of airway management. Interventions involving a client's neck or thorax are not always aimed at issues involving the airway.
