Answer to Question 1

tracheostomy tube
A tracheostomy tube is inserted directly into the trachea through a small incision made in the patient's neck.

Answer to Question 2

A
Clean the injection cap of the epidural catheter with povidone-iodine, or substitute anti-infective according to agency policy. Alcohol causes pain and is toxic to neural tissue. Inject opioid at a rate of 1 mL over 30 seconds. Slow injection prevents discomfort by lowering the pressure exerted by fluid as it enters the epidural space. The catheter is in a space, not a blood vessel; thus flushing with saline is not required.
