Answer to Question 1

D
D. Without applying suction and using dominant thumb and forefinger, gently but quickly insert catheter into nares during inhalation and following natural course of the nares, slightly slant the catheter downward or through mouth. Do not force through nares.
A. Gently but quickly insert catheter into nares during inhalation.
B. Lightly coat distal 6 to 8 cm (2 to 3 inches) of catheter with water-soluble lubricant.
C. Without applying suction and using dominant thumb and forefinger, gently but quickly insert catheter into nares. Application of suction pressure while introducing catheter into trachea increases risk of damage to mucosa and increases risk of hypoxia.

D. See Skill 24-2, Implementation: 6b(10). When suctioning is completed, disconnect catheter from connecting tubing. Roll catheter around fingers of dominant hand.

Turn off suction device.
