Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Some clinicians insert a stylet into the tube to add rigidity and maintain shape during insertion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
You achieve this alignment by combining moderate cervical flexion with extension of the atlan-tooccipital joint. Placement of one or more rolled towels under the patient's head helps. You then flex the neck and tilt the head backward with your hand (Figure 36-14).
