Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A The patient should not be placed in a supine position; the patient is usually placed in a semi-Fowler's position. The patient's head is turned to the right to help the nurse suction the left mainstem bronchus, and the patient's head is then turned to the left to help the nurse suction the right mainstem bronchus.
B Nasotracheal suctioning is a sterile procedure.
C The nasotracheal area should be suctioned first, and then the oropharyngeal area. The mouth and pharynx contain more bacteria than does the trachea.
D For nasotracheal suctioning, the entire procedure from catheter passage to its removal should be done quickly, lasting no longer than 15 seconds.

Answer to Question 2

B
Stroke is the only cause of dysphagia in this list that is considered neurogenic. Myasthenia gravis and muscular dystrophy are considered myogenic in origin, whereas candidiasis is considered obstructive.
