Safety & Environmental Protection (Deck) USCG Question #1600 (Set 49)

Which statement is CORRECT with respect to inserting an airway tube?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — Only a trained person should attempt to insert an airway tube.

Airway tube insertion demands specific medical training to prevent trauma to the pharynx, larynx, or soft tissues and to avoid inducing vomiting or airway obstruction. Untrained personnel can cause severe injury, making professional competency mandatory under marine emergency medical standards.
