Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Insertion of an oropharyngeal airway is done upside-down and then turned. Inserting the naso-pharyngeal airway parallel to the long axis of the nose is inserting it up the nose and is likely to cause bleeding. It is impossible to insert the nasopharyngeal airway perpendicular to the nasal pharynx floor.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The placement of a laryngeal mask airway does not necessitate airway manipulation or a special device. It does not protect the lungs from aspiration because it does not reliably seal the esopha-geal inlet. It is, however, superior to a nasopharyngeal airway.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
