Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

The family should be given the option to stay or leave. If the family chooses to stay, a staff member should stay by them and explain what is happening, to avoid misinterpretation. Some family members might choose to stay, whereas others will choose to leave, but there is no reason they cannot remain if they so choose.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

The method preferred in the hospital would be using a bag-valve-mask device after placing an oropharyngeal airway to maintain an open airway. Other methods can be used if the bag-valve-mask device and/or airway is not available.
