Answer to Question 1

B
When a vesicant medication infiltrates the tissue, this is called an extravasation. Occlusion refers to a thrombus or fibrin sheath that impedes the flow of IV fluids. Phlebitis occurs with redness surrounding the vein, and extravasation leads to trauma within the vein

Answer to Question 2

tongue
The tongue is the most common cause of blocked airway in an unresponsive patient.
