Answer to Question 1

C
C. Closed system or in-line suction catheter is connected to the artificial airway.
A. Reassess cardiopulmonary status, including pulse oximetry, to determine need for subsequent suctioning or complications.
B. Repeat one to two more times to clear secretions. Allow adequate time (at least 1 full minute) between suction passes for ventilation and reoxygenation.
D. Hyperinflate and/or hyperoxygenate client with bag-valve-mask or manual breathing mechanism on mechanical ventilator according to institution protocol and clinical status (usually 100 oxygen).

Answer to Question 2

B
B. Suctioning should require no more than 5 seconds.
A. Because of small diameter of suction catheter, thick secretions may be more difficult to remove.
C. Distance suctioned should not be greater than 0.5 cm beyond the tip of the artificial airway.
D. Small-diameter suction catheters required in pediatrics should be one-half the diameter of the child's tracheostomy tube.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
