Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
According to the Difficult Airway Algorithm, when face mask ventilation is inadequate and intubation attempts are unsuccessful, an attempt to place a laryngeal mask airway should be made.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Because the endotracheal tube is inserted into the trachea and sealed with a cuff, it is considered to be a secure airway. The esophageal cuff affords some protection from regurgitation, but, as with the laryngeal mask airway, the Combitube is not considered a secure airway device; neither is the Berman airway.
