Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

The Yankauer suction tube is a hard plastic device used for suctioning the client's oral cavity. Whistle-tipped and open-tipped catheters are soft, pliable catheters, and a closed suctioning system is an inline catheter covered by a plastic sheath.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Delivering a larger tidal volume is hyperinflation, and must be done with care to prevent overdistention of the alveoli. Hyperoxygenating is increasing the oxygen concentration, hyperventilation is breathing quickly, and hypoinflation is delivering lower-than-normal tidal volumes.
