Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
If the mask seal is inadequate the volume necessary to ventilate the patient will be inadequate, which will result in lack of chest movement. If the resuscitator bag is too small there is not enough volume to adequately ventilate the patient and the chest will not rise appropriately. If the leaf valve is missing the gas from the bag will not be directed to the patient and will therefore result in inadequate chest movement.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
This figure depicts a Combitube. This tube has a double-lumen and two cuffs and can be inserted blindly in comatose patients with airway difficulty. It can function with either the esophagus in-tubated or the trachea intubated.
