Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Oral cavity suctioning can be performed by the UAP safely if the nurse ensures the UAP is familiar with the procedure and knows what needs to be reported to the nurse. Suctioning of the other cavities requires sterile technique, so they cannot be delegated to the UAP.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

The maximum size catheter that will fit into a given artificial airway is determined by multiplying the tube size by 2, so a 6 mm tube would allow a 12 French catheter as the maximum size.
