Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Distributing weight equally on both feet provides a broad base of support. Maintain the hips at an even level. Bend the knees slightly to avoid straining the joints. Hold the chest up and slightly forward, and extend or stretch the waist to give internal organs more space and maintain good alignment of the spine.

Answer to Question 2

A
Tracheal suctioning is performed through an artificial airway such as a tracheostomy. Oropha-ryngeal suctioning clears secretions from the mouth and upper airway. Nasotracheal suctioning introduces the catheter through the naris into the trachea. Orotracheal suctioning introduces the catheter through the mouth into the trachea.
