Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Atelectasis can be caused by removal of too much air from the lungs. You can avoid this compli-cation by (1) limiting the amount of negative pressure used, (2) keeping the duration of suction-ing as short as possible, and (3) providing hyperinflation before and after the procedure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
If any major change is seen in the heart rate or rhythm, immediately stop suctioning and admin-ister oxygen to the patient, providing manual ventilation as needed.
