How can Sally prevent patient aspiration of debris and water during a dental prophy?

Use an inflated cuffed ET tube
Incline the patient downward
Place a gauze square in the back of the pharynx
All of the above

Explanation

Answer: D. To prevent aspiration of debris and water during a dental prophy, ensure that an inflated cuffed ET tube is properly placed in the trachea, incline the patient downward so that water from irrigation flows out, and place a gauze square in the back of the pharynx to collect and absorb debris. The gauze square will need to be noted and removed prior to extubation.
