Answer to Question 1

A
A. Nasotracheal suctioning (without applying suction): In adults, insert catheter about 20 cm.
B. Apply sterile glove to each hand, or apply nonsterile glove to nondominant hand and sterile glove to dominant hand.
C and D. 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.

Answer to Question 2

intramuscular (IM)
The intramuscular (IM) injection route deposits medication into deep muscle tissue, which has a rich blood supply, allowing the medication to be absorbed faster than by the subcutaneous or intradermal route.
