Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
There are strict protocols for intubation relative to choosing, sizing, and placing an ET. After placement, bilateral lung sounds are ausculated and, usually, a chest x-ray is obtained to verify proper placement. After correct placement is confirmed, the ET is secured in place.
