Question 2

Accepted Answer

partial airway obstruction with poor air exchange

Question 3

___________ are the best device for retrieval of large and small objects from the distal regions of the oral cavity.&#10;A)Cotton pliers&#10;B)Hemostats&#10;C)Needle holders&#10;D)Intubation forceps

Accepted Answer

Intubation forceps are long, slim and have angled tips that make them the best choice for retrieving objects from difficult to reach areas in the oral cavity. They are commonly used in dental surgery and by emergency medical personnel. Cotton pliers, hemostats, and needle holders are not specifically designed for this purpose and may not be able to reach the object or grasp it securely enough for retrieval.

Question 4

A pharyngeal curtain may be created by __________ across the posterior portion of the oral cavity.&#10;A)ligating with dental floss&#10;B)spreading gauze pads&#10;C)placing a saliva ejector&#10;D)placing a portion of the patient's bib

Accepted Answer

Spreading gauze pads across the posterior portion of the oral cavity can create a pharyngeal curtain, separating the oral cavity from the pharynx and preventing fluids and debris from entering the airway. The other options listed are not effective in creating a pharyngeal curtain.

Question 5

When it can be presumed that a foreign body has entered the trachea,the patient should:&#10;A)sit straight up&#10;B)be placed in the Trendelenburg position&#10;C)be placed in the left lateral decubitus position&#10;D)be placed in the right lateral decubitus position

Question 6

Which of the following remains an indication for use of the &#34;back blow&#34;?&#10;A)partial airway obstruction in any patient&#10;B)total airway obstruction in an adult&#10;C)total airway obstruction in an infant&#10;D)total airway obstruction in a child&#10;E)none-back blows are no longer recommended for airway obstruction

Accepted Answer

Total airway obstruction in an infant remains an indication for the use of the back blow technique, according to current guidelines. However, it is no longer recommended for children and adults due to the risk of further obstruction or injury. Other interventions should be used instead, such as abdominal thrusts or chest compressions, depending on the age and size of the patient.

Question 7

Signs and symptoms that an object has entered the trachea include:&#10;A)vomiting&#10;B)sudden onset of coughing,choking,or wheezing&#10;C)hoarseness&#10;D)gastroesophageal reflux disease

Accepted Answer

The sudden onset of coughing, choking, or wheezing is a classic symptom of an object entering the trachea. Vomiting and gastroesophageal reflux disease are not specific to this scenario, and hoarseness may occur later on as a result of irritation or injury to the vocal cords.

Question 8

When an object enters the oropharynx of a patient seated in the supine position and is still visible:&#10;A)immediately put the chair into the most forward position and encourage the patient to sit up.&#10;B)tell the patient to stand up and jump up and down&#10;C)move the chair into a more reclined position while the assistant picks up intubation forceps&#10;D)move the chair into a more reclined position while the assistant calls EMS

Question 9

Swallowed objects that enter the gastrointestinal tract have produced:&#10;A)peritoneal abscess&#10;B)pneumonia&#10;C)peritonitis&#10;D)A,B,and C&#10;E)A and C

Accepted Answer

Swallowed objects that enter the gastrointestinal tract can produce peritoneal abscess and peritonitis, but not pneumonia. Therefore, option A and B are incorrect. Option D includes pneumonia, which is not a possible complication, making it incorrect. Option E correctly identifies the possible complications of swallowed objects in the gastrointestinal tract as peritoneal abscess and peritonitis.

Question 10

When objects are swallowed they usually become lodged in the:&#10;A)larynx and obstruct the trachea&#10;B)gastrointestinal tract&#10;C)left main stem bronchi&#10;D)right main stem bronchi

Accepted Answer

Swallowed objects usually become lodged in the gastrointestinal tract, which includes the esophagus, stomach, and intestines. The larynx and bronchi are part of the respiratory system, not the digestive system, and objects that become lodged there can be life-threatening.
