Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Ideally, the tip of an endotracheal tube should be positioned in the trachea approximately 5 cm above the carina.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
In lifting the tip of the blade, you should avoid levering the laryngoscope against the teeth, as this can damage the teeth and gums.
