CPT & Suctioning Rle Exam

The document discusses techniques for bronchial drainage and tracheal suctioning. It provides multiple choice questions to test knowledge of the goals, techniques, positions, and procedures for chest percussion, postural drainage, vibration, and suctioning. These include increasing airway clearance, using gravity to drain secretions, tapping or vibrating the chest to dislodge secretions, applying techniques with tolerance-appropriate force, performing percussion only on peak exhalation, cupping hands for vibration, retaining secretions as the primary indication for suctioning, suctioning the oropharynx, endotracheal tube, or tracheostomy with clean technique, suctioning for approximately 30 seconds, and applying suction during
