Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
With the maxillofacial injury, the oral cavity will not be accessible. Intubation via the nasal route may be required. It is a short term need so a tracheotomy will not be necessary.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Successful passage of the tube through the larynx usually is indicated by a harsh cough, followed by vocal silence.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
