Inability to maintain an adequate mask seal during manual ventilation will cause:
 
  a. gastric distention. c. lower tidal volumes to be delivered.
  b. pressures to exceed 40 cm H2O. d. tidal volumes to exceed 800 mL.

Question 2

Endotracheal tube suctioning should be preceded by:
 
  a. pulse oximetry.
  b. instillation of 15 mL of sterile saline solu-tion.
  c. preoxygenation for 30 seconds.
  d. hyperinflation for 60 seconds.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Failure to maintain an adequate seal between the mask and the patient's face can lead to the de-livery of low tidal volumes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Preoxygenation of the patient with 100 oxygen for a minimum of 30 to 60 seconds before suc-tioning is required to avoid the hazards of hypoxemia.
