  2. B

    Delay airway opening until imaging rules out neck injury

  3. C

    Use a head tilt–chin lift as needed to achieve adequate ventilation

  4. D

    Insert an OPA regardless of the patient’s gag reflex

Which description best explains how a supraglottic airway provides ventilation?

  1. A

    It passes through the vocal cords and rests in the trachea

  2. B

    It sits above the vocal cords and provides a channel for ventilation

  3. C

    It is inserted into the esophagus to prevent all aspiration

  4. D

    It can ventilate only when the patient has no gag reflex

  1. A

    Prepare suction

  2. B

    Prepare oxygen and ventilation equipment

  3. C

    Prepare the tube and laryngoscope

  4. D

    Prepare monitoring

  5. E

    Plan a backup such as bag-mask ventilation or a supraglottic airway

  6. F

    Preoxygenate when feasible

  7. G

    Skip preoxygenation even when it is feasible

  8. H

A supraglottic airway has just been inserted. Select all appropriate steps for assessing and managing it.

  1. A

    Connect ventilation

  2. B

    Assess chest rise and air entry

  3. C

    Check for leak or obstruction

  4. D

    Monitor exhaled carbon dioxide when available

  5. E

    Reposition or replace the device if ventilation is ineffective

  6. F

    Secure the device once it is functioning

  7. G

    Secure the device before checking whether it functions

  8. H

    Assume insertion was successful without reassessment

During an intubation attempt, the clinician cannot identify the laryngeal landmarks. Which action best follows the guidance?

  1. A

    Advance the tube carefully until resistance is felt

  2. B

    Inflate the cuff to help locate the trachea

  3. C

    Do not advance the tube blindly; restore effective oxygenation and ventilation and use the backup plan if intubation fails

  4. D

    Repeat the same attempt until the tube passes

An endotracheal tube was confirmed and secured, but the patient has since been moved. What should the clinician do?

  1. A

    Recheck the tube position

  2. B

    Assume the original confirmation remains sufficient

  3. C

    Remove the tube immediately without reassessment

  4. D
