Domain 1: Airway, Respiration & Ventilation Questions 1–3 Question 1 An unresponsive 45-year-old male is found lying supine on the floor. You observe snoring respirations at a rate of 8 breaths/min. What is your immediate priority intervention? A. Begin chest compressions at a rate of 100-120 per minute. B. Perform a head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver to open the airway. C. Apply high-flow oxygen via a non-rebreather mask at 15 L/min. D. Insert a nasopharyngeal airway without positioning the head. Correct Answer: B Perform a head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver to open the airway. Rationale: Snoring respirations typically indicate a partial upper airway obstruction caused by the tongue falling back against the posterior pharynx in an unresponsive patient. The immediate first step is to open the airway manually using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver (or jaw-thrust if trauma is suspected). Oxygenation and adjunct placement follow once the basic airway position is established.

Question 2 Which of the following signs most reliably indicates that a patient receiving bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilations is receiving adequate artificial ventilation? A. The pop-off valve on the BVM engages with each squeeze. B. Visible and equal chest rise and fall with each ventilation. C. Stomach expansion noted during ventilation. D. The reservoir bag remains fully inflated at all times. Correct Answer: B Visible and equal chest rise and fall with each ventilation. Rationale: The primary objective indicator of adequate ventilation is observing clear, gentle, visible chest rise and fall with each breath delivered over 1 second. Gastric distension (stomach expansion) indicates excessive volume or improper mask seal/airway positioning.
