by definition, an endotracheal tube during intubation would be placed:
o within the trachea.
o next to the trachea.
o outside the trachea.
o around the trachea.

Explanation:

• Question 3: The suffix "-ectomy" in medical terminology means surgical excision. So, pneumonectomy is the surgical excision of the lung.
• Question 4: Percussion is the medical procedure of tapping on a body part (in this case, the lung area) to assess its condition. A stethoscope is an instrument for listening to internal sounds. Bronchography is an imaging technique of the bronchi. Auscultation is listening to internal sounds (usually with a stethoscope).
• Question 5: The prefix "endo -" means within. So, an endotracheal tube is placed within the trachea during intubation.

Answer:

• Question 3: a surgical excision of the lung.
• Question 4: percussion.
• Question 5: within the trachea.
