Question 34

The first step in artificial ventilation with a bagvalve-mask unit in patients with no suspected trauma is to:

  1. Position the mask correctly on the face using both hands.
  2. Place the patient’s head in a hyperextended, sniffing position.
  3. Insert an airway adjunct and select the correct mask size.
  4. Have an assistant squeeze the bag until the patient’s chest rises.

Question 35

A 70-year-old patient is complaining of shortness of breath. She has a history of emphysema. You should

  1. Withhold oxygen, since these patients do not respond to oxygen.
  2. Withhold oxygen, because you could eliminate the hypoxic drive.
  3. Administer oxygen, because in most cases, the hypoxic drive will not be a problem.
  4. Withhold oxygen, because these patients become apneic if they receive high-flow oxygen.
