Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Pregnant patients predictably have improved ventilation with a laryngeal mask airway when compared with other mask techniques. The tracheostomy is too invasive for this situation. The nasal and oropharyngeal airways do not facilitate manual ventilation better than the laryngeal mask airway.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
According to Difficult Airway Algorithm set forth by the American Society of Anesthesiolo-gists, because the patient is unable to be invasively intubated and remains awake, the noninvasive airway approach with a laryngeal mask airway is necessary.
