Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Endotracheal intubation is the preferred method for securing the airway during CPR.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Only highly trained personnel should perform endotracheal intubation, and each attempt should not exceed 30 sec, because gas exchange is absent during the procedure.
